Pull onto Transfer Station Road into a gravel lot with an entrance booth and a scale area where vehicles pause before moving into the disposal lanes. Trucks and compactors are visible, and roll-off containers are the obvious places where loads get emptied. Recycling drop-offs and bulky-item spots are usually grouped to the side, and the ground can be uneven or muddy after rain. Expect lines on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so allow extra time on busy days.

- Secure loose trash with a tarp and tie down anything being towed; wind and passing trucks can scatter debris.
- Wear sturdy shoes or boots-gravel and mud are common on-site-and keep a pair of work gloves handy for handling heavy bags or awkward items.
- If towing a trailer, take it slow when maneuvering; backing space can be tight and larger trucks need room to swing.
