Small local disposal site in Somerset used by residents and small haulers. It handles household and community disposal needs and sits just off Shanes Lane near town.
The site is the kind with an entrance booth and a vehicle scale, so expect to stop and have your load weighed before and after. There are open tipping areas and large roll-off style containers visible from the driveway - pull in slowly and line up behind whatever vehicle is next. The yard is gravel and can get muddy after rain; visibility is good for backing trailers but take it slow when maneuvering. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so plan for some wait time if traffic is heavy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose items before arriving; windy drives and tipping can drop debris onto the road.
- Use a shorter trailer if possible - tight turns and gravel surfaces make long rigs harder to position.
- Allow extra travel time from the eastern mountain side of the state, where roads and access can be slower than in urban areas.
