Before You Go
- Weekend hours change more often than weekday hours — confirm today's hours on the center's page or by phone before you drive over.
- Many municipal and county drop-off sites are open Saturday morning but closed Sunday; a center marked Sun here is the exception, not the rule.
- Saturdays fill up fast at staffed drop-offs — go early if you have a big load or bulky items.
- Some sites keep shorter weekend hours (e.g. 8am–noon). The hours shown are the latest on record; always re-check before a holiday weekend.
- Private scrap yards and bottle-redemption centers are more likely to open weekends than county HHW facilities — check what each one actually accepts.
