A scale is often on the approach, so expect to slow down and line up again if loads are weighed. Concrete pads, metal containers, and open tipping bays make up the site - it looks more industrial than tidy, with piles and trucks moving around. On busy weekends the line can get long, especially during spring cleanup or leaf season.

Before You Go
- Secure loose items with a tarp so nothing blows out while driving to the drop-off point.
- Park close to the unloading area and clear a path on the truck or trailer so unloading is quick and keeps traffic flowing.
- Bring separate bags or boxes for recyclables if possible; sorting beforehand saves time once at the site.
