From March 25 to March 29, 2015, there will be reduced space for unloading trash at the Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station, due to concrete repairs inside the tipping area.

We recommend that customers with large loads avoid the busiest mid-day hours to avoid longer-than-average wait times, coming instead
  • earlier in the day, between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., or
  • later in the day, between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station is located at
