Easy access, easy in and out, less expensive and closer to Glasgow area than driving up to Cherry Island Landfill! They recycle for us!!!

Someone needs to monitor this place. So many out of state vehicles…which should be restricted in my opinion. So many businesses dumping there. People dumping restricted items and parking in a way that blocks others from getting in.

Extraordinary facility provided by DNREC. Still/currently at no charge! Very accessible location. They do an excellent job of keeping the parking area open by moving the piles of brush, wood, n grass. No small feat as busy as it gets... for free we accept the limitations of weekends only..

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Can I bring my old mulch there

DNREC - Polly Drummond Hill Yard Waste Site | Apr 12, 2022

Old mulch and dirt are not accepted at this facility. If you have mulch or dirt that you have generated due to creating new beds, you should mix it in. The nutrients will make the soil in your new beds richer. Similarly, old mulch and new mulch can be mixed together when you are putting it down elsewhere in your yard.

Is it a free dump site for leaves

Yes but they are only open on weekends. Wood goes to the left when you drive in. Grass clippings on the right.

"closing permanently on June 30, 2019" implies that it will be closed on that Sunday. Is the last day that it will be OPEN actually Saturday, June 29th? Or, is Sunday, June 30th the last day that it will be OPEN? Please clarify. Thanks.
