A small county convenience center on Mile End Road that locals use for household drop-offs. Mostly for Franklin residents with typical curbside overflow or small truck loads, not a full-scale transfer station. The site looks like a handful of large roll-off containers and a simple entrance lane with a booth nearby.
Drive up the entrance lane and pull alongside the containers; there are separate bins for trash, recycling and yard debris so be ready to sort. The booth is visible from the road, though the place can be lightly staffed or unattended at times. Expect a compact layout with parking and room to maneuver a pickup or trailer, but not the long lanes or heavy equipment of larger facilities. Weekends, especially spring cleanup weekends, tend to be busier and may require waiting for an open bay.

Before You Go

- Know which pile is which before getting out of the vehicle; moving across containers can be awkward when traffic backs up.
- Go early on weekdays if possible to avoid the longer lines common on weekend mornings and seasonal cleanup days.
