Small-town disposal spot just off Shady Lane in Valley Park that locals use for household drop-offs and truck runs. Lots of people from the neighborhood and nearby towns come here when they need to get rid of bulky stuff or regular trash loads.
A plain, functional site with a small entrance booth and traffic lanes for cars and trucks; pull up to the booth area first and be ready to follow attendants' directions. There’s often a scale to drive over so vehicles may stop twice, once in and once out, and larger trucks circle through to the tipping area. Recycling bins and drop-off concrete pads sit a short ways from the entrance, with piles or containers labeled where people sort loads. Weekends and spring cleanup times usually bring a steady line, while weekday mornings are quieter.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have materials reasonably separated before pulling in so unloading goes faster and fewer trips across the site are needed.
- Bring straps or tarps for loose loads-wind can scatter light debris if things aren’t secured during transit and unloading.
- Avoid the midday rush on Saturdays when pickup trucks and trailers tend to clog the entrance; aim for early or late in the day if possible.
