Garrett County Government Solid Waste

County-run solid waste drop-off in Oakland that handles general household trash along with common recycling and yard waste options. Locals use it for weekend cleanups, yard work haul-offs, and getting rid of bulky items that don’t fit at curbside.

There’s an entrance booth and a vehicle scale area, with traffic routed through for drop-off and weighing. Expect a cluster of roll-off containers and separate piles or bays for recyclables and yard debris; signs and cones point the way once past the gate. Pull up slowly and plan where to unload before getting out-some spots require backing in, others are drive-through. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so lines can form during peak hours.
