Convenience Center
Charlotte Hall Convenience Center
37707 New Market Turner Rd, Mechanicsville, MD 20659
A small county convenience center at 37707 New Market Turner Rd in Mechanicsville, used mostly by local residents dropping off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Short trips and pickup trucks are common here, especially on weekends and during yard‑work season.
Drive up to a modest lot with several roll‑off containers and a few paved pull‑up lanes; there may be an entrance booth or sign marking the driveway. Pull up to the appropriate container area, unload into the open bins or trailers, then move on-these sites are usually set up for quick drop‑offs rather than long waits. Expect a compact, functional layout rather than a large transfer station; traffic can back up on busy weekend mornings.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home so there’s less fumbling at the containers-paper and bottles often have separate bins from trash and yard waste.
- Bring gloves and straps or tarps for loose loads; it makes unloading faster and keeps debris out of the truck bed.
- Aim for midweek or early morning to avoid the longer lines that build up on Saturdays and during spring cleanup.
