Small neighborhood drop-off spot in southeast Abilene, right off Sandy Street. Mostly used by residents hauling household trash, recyclables and yard debris who need a quick place to unload. The site feels like a compact, no-frills convenience center rather than a big regional transfer station.
Pull in from Sandy St and you'll see a short drive-up lane with a little booth near the entrance and several roll-off containers ahead. Recycle bins are usually grouped together to one side and yard waste or bulk containers sit a bit farther back; lanes are tight so expect to maneuver slowly. Often unstaffed or only briefly staffed, so have materials ready to toss before pulling up to a bin. Weekends and spring cleanup periods get busier, so the line can form out onto the street at times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves and a tarp-containers are open-top and loose items can be dusty or muddy.
- Back your trailer up carefully; the drops are close together and visibility can be limited when larger trucks are present.
- Sort items at home as much as possible so unloading goes quickly; truckers and neighbors appreciate a quick turn-around.
