Delaware County Solid Waste is the local county facility serving Afton and nearby communities, listed at 57550 E 250 Rd in the Grove area. Neighbors bring household trash, yard debris and recyclables here rather than hauling to a distant transfer station. It’s the place people use for routine cleanups and for the bigger hauls after storms.
Drive up to an entrance booth/scale area where vehicles usually stop briefly; many county sites weigh trucks so be ready to pause. The site is mostly open lots with piles, roll-off containers and a separate area for green waste and recycling set off to the side. Surfaces tend to be gravel and dusty when dry, muddy after rain, and trucks/trailers are common, so pull in slowly and follow any directional signs. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, and activity spikes after tornadoes or major storms.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp and straps - loose debris is a hassle for everyone and takes extra time to clean up.
- Sort materials at the truck before pulling up (trash, brush, recyclables) so unloading goes faster and mixing items is minimized.
- Try to come early on a weekday if possible; weekends and storm-recovery periods are when lines get long.
