Tips from the manager of our Solid Waste Transfer Station and Processing Facility...
Dear Tree Limb and Yard Trim Customers:
The Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station has been experiencing long lines for you during peak operating hours.
In order to avoid lines please consider the following options:
-
Residential customers: if you just have small material (limb diameter less than 4 inches), please place your yard trim at the curb on your recycling day in bundles weighing less than 45 pounds and less than four feet in length, in brown yard waste bags, or in trash cans with a “Yard Waste” label
-
Residents hauling larger material from your own home: consider coming weekdays before 11:00 a.m. or during the evening between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. If you come on the weekend, traffic is lightest in the morning before about 10:00 a.m. Traffic is heaviest midday between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., so that is a good time to avoid. Following this advice should enable you dump your material with a minimal wait time.
