Small, no-frills local disposal spot that most Carsonville residents use for household cleanouts and yard debris. Pull-up access from Ruth Road makes it easy for pickups and trailers to swing in. Regular people and local contractors stop here when they need to drop off a load close to town.
There’s an entrance booth and a drive-over scale-expect to stop at the scale once coming in and possibly again on exit since charges are by weight here. The site looks like a typical transfer area with piles and containers visible from the drive, and traffic often funnels to a handful of drop-off points. Cars and small trucks can pull up to the front for quick tosses, while larger rigs move deeper into the yard. Weekends and spring cleanup season get busy; lines can form so plan for a short wait during peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or straps; loose debris or blowing trash slows unloading and annoys other drivers.
- Separate recyclables and bottles/cans in a different spot in the vehicle - Michigan’s deposit system means those items are often handled differently.
- Bring a cover sheet or rope to keep paperwork handy and make the scale stop quicker; arriving midweek or early morning usually means shorter lines.
