(979) 335-6159Wharton County Solid Waste Sta in East Bernard is the county spot folks use for household trash, yard debris and the usual recycling drop-offs. It's a working yard on Foundation Loop, mostly gravel and concrete with big roll-off bins and truck traffic. Locals swing by with trailers or pickup loads rather than driving further out of county.
Pull up to a small entrance area with a drive lane and a booth or gate area; larger trucks and trailers move around, so watch your mirrors. The site looks industrial - piles, bins and concrete pads rather than anything neat and landscaped. There will often be separate places for recyclables and brush, usually off to one side, and heavier loads may go over a scale. Expect dust or mud depending on weather and take it slow while unloading.
