Southwest Lincoln County Convenience Center

Small county-run convenience center tucked off Henry Thompson Road in Taft, used mostly by local residents dropping off household trash, recyclables and yard debris. It’s the kind of place neighbors swing by with truck beds or trash bags rather than a full trailer load. Expect a compact site rather than a big transfer station.

Drive up a short gravel entrance and slow down for a small booth near the driveway where vehicles pause briefly before pulling forward. Containers are grouped close together-trash, recyclables and yard waste are in separate roll-off bins or compact drop-in boxes a short walk from the pull-through lane. Weekend mornings fill up, so lines can form and maneuvering a long trailer can be tight; larger trucks sometimes need to back up a bit to line up with the right bin. The ground is mostly gravel or packed dirt, so shoes and vehicle tires get dusty after rain.
