This is the town Public Works yard on Kelley Road that most Orono residents use for household trash and regular community disposal needs. It’s a municipal transfer-style spot, so neighbors bring stuff from pickup trucks, trailers, and cars rather than a commercial dumpster.
Drive up the access road and you’ll see an entrance booth and a compact open yard with large containers and roll-off areas. Pull up to the booth area first for directions from the attendant, then move into the drop-off lanes and open bays where crews or signage point out where to leave different loads. In winter the lot can get narrow from snowbanks and service is slower, and weekends or spring cleanup days often have a line of vehicles waiting to get in.

Before You Go
- Secure tarps and straps on trailer loads so wind or a bump doesn’t scatter debris; loose stuff can slow everyone down.
- Aim to come early in the day on a weekday if possible - that’s when lines tend to be shortest.
- Wear sturdy shoes and a warm jacket in winter; surfaces get icy and staff may ask people to hop out and help guide a load.
