The yard is mostly open cells, heavy equipment, and a few gravel roads; watch for big trucks and loaders moving material. Recycling or drop-off bins tend to be set off to one side, with the main working face farther in, so follow traffic flow and signage. Weekends, especially in spring, can get backed up and lines may form at the scale and booth.
