Great American Disposal in Iron Mountain is the local disposal site for folks hauling household and yard junk. Neighbors and small haulers use it for dropping off general trash and cleanout loads; it sits out on N2500 Baler Rd just off the main routes into town.
Expect a rural, working-yard feel rather than a tidy storefront - gravel driveways, big piles and containers, and an entrance booth/scale area near the gate. Many disposal sites have a scale that records weight, so plan for a stop on the way in or out. Pull up to the booth to check in, then follow signs or arrows to the appropriate drop spot; lines can form on busy weekends or during spring cleanup. Bring a vehicle that can handle a gravel entrance and allow extra time if towing a trailer.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose loads so nothing blows out on the road and unloading is quicker.
- Sort out large items and group similar stuff together before pulling up - makes dropping off faster and less confusing.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; midweek visits tend to move faster during town cleanup season.
