Orchard Ridge RDF is the local waste disposal site on Boundary Road in Menomonee Falls. Neighbors and small contractors use it for dropping off household and construction-type loads. The place looks like a working yard more than a tidy recycling center, so plan accordingly.
Expect a large, industrial-feeling lot with trucks, trailers, and passenger cars moving through; facilities like this commonly have a scale house or entrance lane where loads are noted. Pull up into the queue and be ready to stop briefly for weighing or directions from staff if present. Drop-off areas and recycling bins are usually grouped, so having materials sorted ahead of time speeds things up. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be busiest and lines can form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and tie-downs so nothing blows out while waiting or driving through.
- Bring gloves, boots, and a shovel or long-handled tool - some drop spots are high or require moving material into a chute or pit.
- Sort recyclables and bulky items before reaching the gate; separated piles make the whole process go faster for everyone.
