St. Andrews Convenience Center

Small county convenience center in California, MD, used mostly by local residents dropping off household trash, recyclables and yard waste. This is the kind of place people swing by for a quick drop-off rather than a full-haul transfer station, so expect a compact setup and short drives between containers.

Pull off Old St Andrews Church Rd into a modest paved lot with a few large roll-off bins and recycling containers set out in a row. There may be a simple entry point or a marked lane; traffic can bottleneck when a truck is emptying a container. Separate bins for trash, recyclables and yard waste are usually grouped near each other, so have items sorted before getting out of the vehicle. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be the busiest times and lines can form.
