Union County Public Works in Monroe is the county's local drop-off for residential waste and neighborhood cleanup loads. Neighbors with trucks, trailers or a car full of junk use this spot when clearing out garages or cleaning up after yard work. The site is plainly marked off Parkwood School Road and serves the Monroe community.
There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale to pull up to-plan to stop and have the attendant direct where to go. The property is open with piles and roll-off areas visible from the drive; larger vehicles will follow signs or staff direction to specific drop points. Recycling or special material bins are typically grouped to one side, so keep an eye out for signs as traffic moves through. Weekend mornings are the busiest, so lines and waiting for a bay or drop point are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a photo ID or proof of residency in case it’s requested; county facilities often check residency for household loads.
- Secure loose items and tarps on trailers-loose debris can blow out and slow down unloading or lead to extra stops.
- Aim for midweek if possible to avoid weekend backups, and have items separated in the vehicle so unloading goes faster.
