There’s usually an entrance booth and a drive-on scale, so expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out since charges are commonly calculated by weight. The site looks like large dirt mounds and open cells with wide access roads for trucks; backing up to a drop-off area is normal. Parking or staging is generally near the entrance so vehicles can unload in turn. Keep things sorted beforehand because recyclables or bulky items are often handled separately and that speeds the whole visit.
