Augusta Public Works is the municipal waste facility on North Street that locals use for household and small community disposal needs. Located just off the main road in Augusta, it’s the kind of town-run place neighbors bring their regular loads to.
There’s usually a small entrance area with a booth or office near the driveway where vehicles stop before proceeding into the yard. Pull up slowly-larger trucks and trailers share the lanes, so space can feel tight and maneuvering requires attention. The site looks like a typical transfer area: compact piles or containers, drive-up drop spots, and a few traffic signs to guide flow. Weekends and spring cleanup times get noticeably busier, and winter weather can slow operations or make the lot slick.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose material on trailers-wind and travel can make a mess if things aren’t secured.
- Choose a weekday morning if possible; traffic and waits are shorter than on weekend afternoons.
- Have vehicle and load ready to describe at the booth so the stop is quick-unloading areas can be tight and other vehicles are usually waiting.
