Small county disposal site out on Whitney Lane that locals use for household cleanouts and yard debris. Mostly serves Woodburn residents and nearby rural folks hauling curbside overflow. The place looks like a working lot more than a park - expect practical rather than pretty.
Drive up to a single entry lane with a small booth and scale nearby; many people pull up slowly to have their load weighed before dumping. The drop area is a fenced, open pit and large roll-off containers, with piles of different materials visible from the drive. Recycling and bottle return spots are usually off to one side, so look for clusters of bins rather than a neat row. Weekends fill up fast, especially during spring cleanups, so there can be a line of trucks and trailers waiting to get in.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring your own gloves and hand tools - the site is dusty and things are often loose, not bagged neatly.
- Drive a little slower than normal when going in; the scale and booth require stopping and the lot surface can be uneven.
- Have loads separated as much as possible before pulling up so unloading goes quicker and fewer trips around the site are needed.
