Best Way Disposal

7901 Dan Smith Rd, Watervliet, MI 49098

(269) 463-3232

Small, local disposal site used by Watervliet residents and nearby rural drivers for getting rid of household and yard junk. The place looks like a working yard more than a polished transfer station, and locals swing by with pickups, trailers, and the occasional small truck. It’s the kind of spot neighbors recommend when clearing out a garage or doing a one-day cleanout.

There’s an entrance booth and a pull-up area where vehicles line up to check in; plan to stop before driving into the main yard. A scale is commonly found at sites like this, so expect to pass it on your way in and again on the way out. The lot has open tipping areas, piles and containers, and a mix of compactors and roll-off trailers in view. Weekends, especially spring cleanup weekend, often have the longest lines and some extra waiting.

Before You Go

  • Secure loads with straps or a tarp; loose stuff shifts in the bed and makes unloading slower for everyone.
  • Drop off bulky items separately from loose bags when possible - it speeds things up and keeps the driver at the booth moving.
  • Try a weekday morning if possible; midweek runs usually mean shorter waits than Saturday afternoons.
