Small neighborhood drop-off used by Onancock residents for household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Located on Coastal Boulevard, it feels like a local spot rather than a large county transfer station. Most people from the area swing by with pickup loads or a trunk full of sorting bags.
Drive a short lane from Coastal Boulevard toward a small entrance area with a booth and several large containers - it's a convenience center setup, not a big transfer facility. Pull-up lanes allow backing up to the containers for unloading; there are usually separate containers for trash, recyclables and yard waste. Bring materials sorted as much as possible, since traffic moves quicker when people can drop off without shuffling through items. Weekends and spring cleanup afternoons are the busiest times, so lines can form then.
