This is a county convenience center in Upper Marlboro used mainly by local residents for small drop-offs and routine household cleanups. It’s the kind of place neighbors swing by with a trunk load or a pickup rather than big commercial hauls. Expect a compact, practical site rather than a large transfer station.
Drive up to a few clearly marked drop-off containers for trash, recycling and yard waste-they’re usually grouped in one area. The site tends to be smaller in scale, so there’s limited room to maneuver for large trucks; backing into a stall may be needed. Some centers have an entrance/exit lane and a booth or sign-in point, while others are more open and lightly staffed. Weekends and spring cleanup times often get busy, so lines can form and traffic may move slowly.
