A small convenience center in Toano used by local residents for drop-off of household refuse and recyclables. Mostly the kind of place people swing by for carload or pickup-truck loads rather than a full-service transfer station.
A compact site with several roll-off style containers and separate areas for recyclables and yard debris-these are usually grouped near the back of the lot. There may be an entrance booth or a small gated entry where vehicles queue to pull in; expect to back up to a container or pull alongside to unload. The surface is typically paved and can get dusty or muddy after rain, and weekends-especially spring cleanup weekends-tend to be busy. Bring materials already sorted if possible, since containers are labeled and it saves time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves, eye protection, and a tarp or straps for loose items in a truck bed to keep things from blowing around while unloading.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings; midweek or late afternoons are often quieter if a quicker visit is needed.
- Have recyclables and yard waste separated before pulling into the site so unloading is faster and fewer trips around the lot are necessary.
