Neighbors bring typical residential loads here because the trucks compact everything and haul it off to a landfill elsewhere. It’s the practical spot for clearing out a garage or doing a small cleanout without driving into a distant tip.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale to drive over, and charges are generally based on weight, so expect to stop twice-once in and once out. Pull-up lanes guide vehicles to the unloading areas; larger trucks and trailers have specific places to dump, while smaller cars usually pull up to side bays. Recycling containers are grouped nearby so glass, paper and bottles are separate from the general trash, and the site looks like a working industrial yard with compactors and roll-off containers. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so lines can back up onto Beaver Dam Road during peak hours.
