Small county-run solid waste facility in Fayette used mainly by local residents hauling household trash, yard clippings, and recyclables. It's the kind of place people from town and nearby rural roads visit when the weekly pickup won't handle what they have. Expect a straightforward working lot rather than a polished commercial depot.
The site looks like a working yard with trucks, trailers, and a handful of large containers or piles for different materials. Drive in, find a spot to unload and move on when finished; lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup. Signs and simple traffic flow guide where to leave items, and there’s usually someplace to stop briefly before you drop things off. Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads since wind and debris are common while unloading.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose material with a tarp so leaves, dirt, and small debris don't blow out while driving or unloading.
- Sort bulky items in the truck beforehand (metal, branches, mixed trash) to make the stop quicker and avoid extra trips around the yard.
- Go with a helper for heavy lifting-large furniture or appliances are easier and safer with two people.
