Neighbors usually come with cardboard, mixed paper, cans, bottles and the common plastics that community centers handle. The place has a practical, working-yard vibe rather than anything fancy.
Drive in from Westmoreland and follow a short paved lane toward the yard; many centers here have a small booth or office near the entrance and a scale area nearby. Large containers or roll-offs for cardboard, paper, metals, plastics and glass are commonly clustered where people unload, so having items roughly sorted helps. Pickup trucks and trailers are a steady sight, and weekends-especially during spring cleanup-often have lines. The surface is typically concrete or packed gravel with clear traffic lanes, not landscaped parking.
