Small, no-frills convenience center out on Community Ave that locals use for household drop-offs. People from Smoaks and nearby areas swing by with trash, yard clippings and the occasional pile from a cleanup. It feels like a neighborhood spot rather than a big county transfer station.
Drive in off Community Ave and line up to pull up alongside the containers; there’s usually a small entrance lane and then places to park and unload. Expect a handful of separate roll-off bins or dumpsters for trash, recyclables and yard waste - they’re grouped close together so it’s easy to hop between them. The site is the sort of place where you unload from the back of a truck or tailgate a car; bring help if you’ve got bulky items. During storm season people come early to drop off storm debris, so it can get busy after severe weather.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and yard waste at home so unloading goes quickly - having things separated saves time in line.
- Bring straps or a tarp for loose yard debris; windy days can make a mess when unloading open loads.
- Try to come midweek or early in the morning on weekends if possible - lines are longer during spring cleanups and after storms.
