Autumn Hills RDF is the waste disposal site at 700 56th Ave in Zeeland. Locals bring everyday residential loads and small trailers here for drop-off; it’s the spot neighbors use when cleaning out a garage or yard.
You'll pull up to a small entrance booth and pause to check in before moving on. There’s a scale on site so vehicles often get weighed and then proceed to an unloading area, with a second stop to re-weigh afterward. The yard is open and industrial-looking, with trucks coming and going and some loose debris on the ground, so drive slowly and pay attention when backing. Weekends - and especially spring cleanup season - tend to get backed up, so lines are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down and tarp everything; loose branches and garbage scatter on the drive in and can slow unloading.
- Put small bits into buckets or boxes so they can be emptied quickly instead of shaking everything out by hand.
- Allow extra time for the scale stops and possible queues - avoid peak weekend mornings if trying to move through quickly.
