A small local dump on E Lakecrest Drive that sees both neighborhood cleanouts and contractor drop-offs. Most visitors are Andover residents or nearby trades hauling regular household and construction debris. The site looks like a typical town dump rather than a polished transfer station.
Drive up the short access road to a central check point or booth area where vehicles slow down to sort through paperwork or directions. There are open roll-off areas and piles for different kinds of material; expect to pick a lane and pull up close to the pile you need. The yard is gravel and can get muddy after rain, with equipment and trucks moving around, so take it slow. Weekends and early spring clean-up tend to be the busiest times, so plan for a bit of waiting if it’s a weekend.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loads for transport - windy roads can blow lightweight debris out onto the highway.
- Bring gloves and something to lift with; most dumping is hands-on and items may need to be placed or moved into a pile.
- Use a pickup or trailer that’s easy to back in or turn around; the site layout favors drivers who can maneuver and spot their own drop-off.
