Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority

Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority on Torne Valley Road is the county facility that Hillburn residents use for household trash, recycling and yard debris. Neighbors bring everything from curbside overflow to bulk drop-offs, so the place gets steady local traffic. It sits on a pretty large parcel just off the main road, easy to spot from the street.

Drive up to an entrance point where vehicles line up; there’s typically an attendant booth and a scale for vehicles, so expect to pause at least twice. Recycling bays and yard-waste areas are usually grouped together to the right or straight ahead after the booth, while general trash is handled in separate areas. The site has truck activity and compacted piles, not a tidy retail look-bring patience and something to direct people to what’s in each pile. Weekends and spring cleanup times get noticeably busier, so lines can form.
