Convenience Center
Dargan Convenience Center
2201 Dargan School Rd, Sharpsburg, MD 21782
(301) 432-4103Small, local drop-off point used mainly by Sharpsburg residents for household trash, recyclables, and yard debris. A no-frills convenience center where people swing by with carloads or small trailers rather than large commercial hauls.
Pull into a compact lot with several large roll-off containers and room to back up a small trailer. There is often a booth or short driveway before the bin area, so expect to slow down as vehicles merge in and out. Containers for recycling and yard waste are usually grouped together to the side, while general trash bins sit closer to the center of the site. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get busy and require a short wait to unload.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have materials sorted in the driveway so unloading is quick-separate recyclables and yard debris from regular trash before getting out.
- Bring gloves and a tarp to keep things tidy when hauling loose yard waste or loading/unloading from a trailer.
- Use a smaller vehicle if possible; tight turning and backing space can be tricky with long or wide trucks and trailers.
