A no-frills municipal disposal site on Transway Road used by locals and small contractors in Halethorpe. People come here for household cleanouts and regular residential drop-offs, and the place has the feel of a high-volume Baltimore-Washington corridor operation. Expect a working, industrial lot rather than a tidy retail center.
There’s an entrance booth and a fenced perimeter, with trucks and trailers lining up on busy days. Vehicles usually pull up to the booth first and are directed toward a scale and unloading areas; traffic can stack up on weekends and during spring cleanup. The site is mostly paved and utilitarian - concrete bays, compactors, and open tipping areas are the dominant sights. Recycling or drop-off containers sit off to the side, and signage points to where different vehicles should go.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring something to secure loose loads; wind and passing trucks can scatter debris on the way to the tipping area.
- Plan for possible waits on Saturdays and during seasonal cleanups - arrive early in the morning if a shorter line matters.
- Have vehicle paperwork and ID handy at the booth to speed processing; wear closed-toe shoes for walking around the yard.
