Trenton Solid Waste Management

Trenton Solid Waste Management on Calhoun Street is the kind of place residents use when the curbside pickup won't cut it. Local homeowners, landscapers, and folks cleaning out garages show up here; it's a busy municipal solid waste site in the city.

Drive up to an entrance with a small booth where someone checks vehicles and directs traffic, then follow the lane toward the tipping area. There's usually a scale to cross, so expect a slow roll-through and a stop on the way out. Recycling receptacles sit just past the entrance booth to the right, with larger drop-off bays straight ahead. Weekends fill up, especially during spring cleanup, and the lot looks industrial - piles, compactors, and a steady flow of trucks.
