Frederick County Citizens' Convenience Center

Frederick County Citizens' Convenience Center in Star Tannery is a small county drop-off spot for residential trash, recyclables and yard debris. Neighbors bring anything from a trash bag to a trailer load for disposal. It’s the kind of place locals use for weekend cleanups or odd jobs the curbside service won’t take.

Drive up to a single entrance where there’s usually a small booth or an obvious pull-in for vehicles and trailers; follow the flow of cars to the container area. Expect a row of roll-off bins and separate receptacles for recycling and yard waste, so backing up to a dumpster is common. Weekends - especially during spring and fall cleanup times - can get backed up, with lines forming at the entrance. The surface is typically paved or gravel and the site is basic, so bring gloves and secure any loose loads before getting out of the vehicle.
