Small county drop-off in Middletown for residents who need a quick place to unload household trash, recyclables, and yard debris. Not a big transfer station-think a handful of roll-off containers and a compact compound off Valley Pike. Folks from around Frederick County swing by when the curbside bin won't do.
Pull off Valley Pike into a short drive-up area and you'll see rows of metal containers and a couple of bays; this is the kind of place where drivers hop out to sort loads. Some centers around here have an entrance booth or signage directing traffic, but number of attendants can vary and lanes can be narrow. Weekends and spring cleanup times often get backed up, so be prepared to wait in line. Bring something to lift or tarps to keep boxes and brush contained, because there's limited space to maneuver next to the containers.
