Garden City Dept of Public Works Yard

Garden City Dept of Public Works Yard is the town’s local spot for dropping off household refuse and routine bulky items. Neighbors and small trucks use it, not a big commercial transfer station. Expect something that looks like a municipal yard rather than a retail recycling center.

Drive up the short driveway to a small office or booth where vehicles briefly stop before being directed. There are usually piles, roll-off containers, and a handful of marked areas for different types of drop-offs, with municipal trucks moving around. The place feels compact-more like a working garage and storage lot than a park-and-drop facility. Weekends, especially during seasonal cleanups, tend to see lines and slow-moving traffic.
