Small, local waste drop-off used by Boyne City residents and weekend DIYers hauling trash and yard debris. Located right off Boyne Ave, it’s the kind of place neighbors swing by when cleaning out a garage or after weekend projects. Expect a practical, workmanlike setup rather than anything fancy.
Pull in to a visible entrance with a booth where vehicles pause briefly before proceeding. There’s a scale that most people cross on the way in or out, so loads are typically weighed and traffic can slow when a few trucks are waiting. Recycling and bulk drop areas sit in plain sight past the main drive; trailers and pickups are common here, and weekends get noticeably busier. The site looks like a regional transfer spot-piles, containers, and heavy equipment nearby-so plan for some dust or mud depending on the weather.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials in the truck bed or trailer ahead of time so unloading goes quickly; separate cardboard and loose debris where possible.
- If bringing bottles or cans, consider the Michigan deposit return program first-separate those items since they may be handled differently than general trash.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings during spring cleanup; midweek visits usually move faster and are less congested.
