Old Bethpage Solid Waste Disposal Complex is the local spot people from town use to drop off regular household trash, yard clippings and recyclables. Located on Bethpage-Sweet Hollow Road, it feels like a working municipal place rather than a private business. Neighbors, landscapers and anyone hauling a load will recognize the long access road and gravelly parking areas.
There’s typically an entrance booth where vehicles pause to check in, and a scale area for weighing larger loads so expect to stop and then pull forward. The site is spread out with tipping areas and rows of containers or bins set to the side; signs and arrows usually point the way once past the booth. Trucks and trailers are common, so watch for backing vehicles and take it slow when moving through the lanes. Weekends can get busy, especially in spring and fall, so lines and short delays are normal.
