Small-town disposal site used mostly by Brown City residents and area farmers. The place handles household and local community trash-nothing fancy, just a working spot to drop off what needs dumping. Arrive prepared for a gravel lot and basic signage rather than a polished facility.
Drive up to a lone entrance booth and be ready to stop briefly; trucks and pickups line up during busy times. There’s a scale station nearby, so vehicles often stop once on the way in and again on the way out for weighing. The yard is open with piles and containers visible from the drive; trailers and dump trucks are common, and the surface is mostly packed dirt or gravel. Recycling and bottle/can returns in Michigan operate separately from disposal, so bring any refundable containers elsewhere if needed.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose items and cover loads with a tarp so nothing blows out on the gravel drive.
- If dropping off a trailer, back in toward the drop area - it makes unloading and exiting easier and quicker.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; weekdays or afternoons usually have shorter lines during spring cleanup season.
