A local county-style disposal site just off US-33 that people from Nelsonville and nearby towns use for household cleanouts and regular trash drops. Small-town, no-frills setup-more like a working yard than a tidy retail place.
Drive up to an entrance booth where staff will direct vehicles and traffic; there’s usually a scale for larger loads and they charge by weight for some drop-offs. Pull-forward lanes lead to concrete pads, roll-off containers, and open piles, so be ready to back into a spot or shuffle around a few trucks. The site looks industrial: gravel or paved drives, bermed piles, and big metal bins scattered around rather than neat curbside bins.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Weekends and spring cleanups get busy; aim for weekday mornings if possible to avoid long lines and waiting behind trucks.
- Secure loose items in the truck bed or trailer ahead of time-loose trash tends to blow around and slows down unloading.
- Have proof of local residency ready if needed, and separate mixed loads into obvious piles before pulling up to make drop-off quicker.
