The site is open-air with large roll-off areas and a series of slopes and berms where loads get dumped. Lines build up on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so expect some wait time at busy moments.

- Arrive with your vehicle able to back up or angle into a dump spot-that makes unloading faster and keeps the line moving.
