A small county convenience center used by Oakdale residents to drop off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. It’s the kind of place neighbors swing by with pickups, trailers or carloads rather than a big transfer station.
The site is modest in scale with drive-up lanes and several large metal bins or roll-offs where items get sorted by type. There may be a simple booth or just posted signs explaining where to set things down, and some spots can be unstaffed. Expect to pull up alongside a bin to unload-vehicles line up during busy times, especially on weekends and in spring. Containers for recyclables and green waste are usually separate from the general trash.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort cardboard, bottles and yard debris at home so unloading goes quicker and there’s less fumbling at the bins.
- Bring gloves and a tarp for loose dirt or brush; it makes handling yard waste and dusty items much easier.
- If hauling heavy items, have someone ride along to help unload and keep the truck bed or trailer lower so lifting is safer.
