It’s the place to bring household cleanouts, yard waste, and other bulk stuff that won’t fit in curbside pickup. Expect a straightforward, working-yard kind of spot rather than a tidy recycling center.
Drive up the short access road and pass a small entrance booth where vehicles queue to be directed. There’s a scale truck will cross to get a weight reading, so plan for a slow stop on the way out as well. The yard is mostly compactors and large roll-off bays, with piles and containers visible from the driving lanes. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so the place looks busier then and trucks are coming and going.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items loosely organized in the truck or trailer so unloading is faster; staff will point where to drop things once it’s your turn.
- Cover loose loads if windy - a tarp or tie-downs keep debris from blowing around in the yard and on the drive in.
- Avoid peak times like Saturday mornings in spring if possible; weekday afternoons are usually quicker for a local run.
