Pull up to an entrance area to let staff direct where to unload, then move on to the appropriate pile or bin for metals, appliances or mixed recyclables. Street-facing scales and an attendant booth are common at places like this, so be prepared to stop twice if weighing is used. Weekends and spring cleanup times usually see a line of trucks and trailers, while weekdays are quieter.
