A small county-run convenience center in Ridge where local residents drop off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Short lines on weekdays, but expect more cars on weekend mornings during yard cleanups.
The site is compact - think a couple of drive-up lanes with large roll-off containers and a small entrance booth marking the driveway. Pull up to the booth area and follow signs or cones that route cars to the appropriate containers; some centers are unstaffed so plan to move through on your own. Separate bins for trash, recycling and yard waste are common, and trailers or trucks usually have a place to back in for unloading. The ground is paved and can be dusty or muddy after rain, and impatient weekend traffic is the main holdup.

Before You Go
- Bring something to cover loose loads so leaves and dirt don’t blow out while driving in and out.
- Back trailers in where possible - it makes dumping and fitting under container lips much easier and faster.
- Sort boxes and flatten cardboard at home so it’s quicker to stack in the recycling container and doesn’t block access for others.
