Polk County Citizens Collection Station

Polk County Citizens Collection Station in Livingston is the small county drop-off site locals use for household cleanup and small loads. Located off Richardson Rd E, it's the kind of place neighbors swing by with a truck or trailer when hauling things that won't fit in curbside pickup.

Drive up to a booth area at the entrance where attendants will direct traffic and where vehicles often form a short line on busy days. Pull up slowly and be prepared to back into unloading bays or dumpsters; the site feels more like a working yard than a storefront. There are separate containers and piles for different kinds of material visible from the drive-in lanes, so it helps to have things sorted before getting out. Weekends and seasonal cleanups tend to be the busiest times, and larger vehicles need extra room to maneuver.
