Small, no-frills county-style drop-off for Cookeville residents who need to get rid of household trash and large items. People from around Bangham and nearby roads come here for quick trips rather than full-service pickup. Expect a working lot rather than a polished recycling center.
There’s typically a booth or gate at the entrance where users check in before pulling forward to the disposal lanes. Vehicles pull up to open bays or roll-off containers and unload themselves, so have helpers ready for heavy stuff. Recycling and scrap metal bins are often off to one side, with general refuse areas in the middle of the yard. Lines build up on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups, so plan for a short wait then.

Before You Go
- Sort and pre-load materials in the vehicle so items can be dropped quickly - saves a lot of time at the bay.
- Bring gloves, sturdy footwear, and a tarp for loose debris; the ground can be gravel and messy in places.
- Have proof of local residency handy and be prepared to show it if the county requires verification.
