Riverside Disposal is the local disposal site on Cushman Street used by Augusta residents and nearby towns. It’s the kind of place people go with a full truck or a few bags from a weekend cleanup. Expect a working, no-frills spot rather than anything fancy.
A driveway leads into the property and there’s an entrance booth and a scale area where vehicles pass through; be prepared to stop and wait your turn. The site feels industrial - piles, containers, and compactors are visible from the pull-up area. During weekends and spring cleanup the line can get long, and winter weather sometimes makes the access road slippery or slow. Vehicles pull up to drop off at different containers, then head back out the same way they came in.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps over loose loads so debris doesn’t blow out while waiting in line.
- Plan for delays on weekends and during spring cleanup; arrive early to avoid the longest waits.
- Dress for working in cold or muddy conditions in winter or shoulder seasons, and bring gloves or a helper for heavy items.
