Pull up to the unloading area that’s lower than the truck bays, toss items where directed, and staff generally guide where to put bulky stuff. The site feels industrial - concrete pads, large compactors and trucks coming and going - and weekends or spring cleanups can get backed up.

Before You Go
- Arrive midweek if possible to avoid long weekend lines; spring and fall cleanup times are busiest.
- Secure loose loads and tarp anything that could blow off during the trip; it makes unloading quicker and safer.
- Sort bulky items and recyclables in the truck bed beforehand so moving through the drop-off points goes faster.
