Montgomery County's Rockville location is the local spot for residents dropping off household trash and yard debris. Regular neighbors and contractors both show up, so expect a mix of small pickups and larger trailers on site.
Drive up to a manned entrance booth where attendants will direct traffic; there’s usually a short line on weekend mornings. A vehicle scale sits near the entrance and exit, so some people stop twice - once coming in and again to leave. The yard is mostly open pavement with rows of roll-off containers and a few recycling islands set to one side. Lines build up during spring cleanup and right before holidays, so the parking and unload areas can feel crowded.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring proof of local residency; it's commonly requested at the gate for county facilities.
- Cover loose loads and tie down debris - windy days blow things all over and cleanup can slow everything down.
- Try to go midweek or early in the morning to avoid long weekend queues and busy drive-up lanes.
