Drive in past an entrance booth and follow signs to pull up; many centers like this have a scale and a pay station near the entrance. The site is a working yard with rows of drop-off containers and a concrete pad where people unload-expect trucks and trailers moving about. Centers of this type commonly accept paper, cardboard, metal, certain plastics, glass, electronics and yard debris, and sometimes run seasonal or special collection programs for things like electronics or tires. Weekends can back up, especially in spring and fall, so there may be a line to get to the drop-off points.
