People who don't want to drive out to a distant landfill drop loads here so trucks can take it the rest of the way. The site gets regular resident traffic, especially on weekends and during seasonal cleanups.

The tipping area has compacting equipment and several bays; it's not huge but busy enough that backing space can be tight with trucks. Recycling bins and drop-off containers are grouped near the right side past the booth, and winter operations can mean different traffic patterns and limited space when snow piles up.
