Small municipal public works yard that handles household waste for Biddeford residents. Locals drop off everything from everyday trash to seasonal cleanup loads. It’s the kind of place neighbors use when curbside pickup won’t do.
Drive up the access road and slow down for an entrance booth or gate area where vehicles typically stop before proceeding. The site is a working yard - expect pavement, gravel, piles, compactors or open bays and equipment moving around. Winter weather can make the access road and parking areas icy or snow-packed, so trucks and trailers move slower. Weekends and spring cleanup days often have lines, so plan for some waiting and tight maneuvering space.

Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose loads with a tarp and straps so debris doesn’t blow out during the trip or while maneuvering on site.
- Bring sturdy boots and gloves; the ground can be uneven, muddy, or icy depending on the season.
- Have the vehicle size in mind - larger trucks and trailers can be harder to turn or back up in a compact yard, so allow extra room and patience when lining up to unload.
