There's a simple entrance with a small booth where staff typically check vehicles and direct traffic; plan to pull up close to it and wait your turn. Drop-off areas are outdoors and look like a series of bays or containers with a compactor nearby; expect to climb into the back of a pickup or walk to a drop-off point with bags and loose items. The site is easy to navigate but can get icy or muddy in winter, and lines form on busy weekends and spring cleanups.
