The site is large and open, with piles of cover dirt, compacted waste mounds and a few gravel roads to follow to the active cell. Pull up to the booth, tell them what’s in the load, and then follow the signage or staff directions to the dumping area; expect to go back across the scale on the way out. In winter the roads can get slick and things move slower, so plan a bit of extra time.

- Bring a tarp for loose loads; it helps keep material contained and makes unloading quicker.
- Drop off recycling or yard waste separately if there are bins or a separate area - it usually speeds up the trip through the site.
- Arrive mid-week or early morning to avoid the longer lines that show up on weekends and during spring cleanup.
