(609) 499-5300Burlington County Department of Solid Waste in Mansfield is the county-run place locals use for household trash, yard debris and recyclables. People bring everything from car loads to small trailers, depending on what needs tossing. Fees and accepted items vary by location, so what’s handled there can differ from other sites.
The site sits off Unnamed Road and looks more industrial than a neighborhood drop-off - paved driveways, big containers and steady truck traffic. At county facilities like this there's usually an entrance booth and a scale; plan to pull up, tell the attendant what’s being dropped and expect to stop again to be weighed. Recycling and yard-waste areas are typically separated from general trash, so things are unloaded in different spots and lines can form around those areas. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get backed up, and trailers are common in the queue.
