Monroe County Solid Waste Management

A county-run solid waste facility that handles general household trash, recycling and yard waste for Norwalk and nearby residents. Locals use it for drop-offs that won’t fit in curbside bins or for items collected during cleanups. It sits out on Junco Road and looks like the kind of place where trucks and pickups mix with a steady stream of cars on weekends.

Pull up to a small entrance booth where staff check vehicles and direct traffic; there's usually a scale somewhere on the drive so vehicles stop on the way in or out. Recycling containers and yard waste piles are typically grouped off to one side, with larger dumpsters or roll-offs for bulk items beyond them. The surface is a mix of gravel and compacted dirt, and several low buildings or sheds may be visible for sorting or storage. Expect trucks moving about and be prepared to wait a few minutes on busy days, like spring cleanup weekends.
