Small-town collection center off Wade Drive where residents and landscapers drop off household and yard trash. Locals, pickup drivers and anyone cleaning out a garage or yard usually end up here. It's the basic place in Blanchard for getting rid of everyday junk and storm debris.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and wait your turn to pull into the unloading area; expect trucks and trailers lining up at busier times. There’s a cluster of large dumpsters and open bays - larger items sit by the concrete pads and loose yard debris is usually piled separately. A scale or weigh station is common at facilities like this, so many people pass through twice, once in and once out. After storms or during spring cleanup weekends the place gets crowded and patience is needed.

Before You Go
- Sort and group items in the truck bed before arriving so unloading goes faster - separate bulky items from loose brush.
- Bring tarps and strong straps; things that aren’t tied down tend to be a hassle to move once on site.
- Plan for delays on weekends and right after severe weather, especially when tornado cleanup is happening in the area.
