Effective Monday, April 6, 2020 we will stop accepting cash and checks at the Shady Grove Transfer Station Scale House. We will continue to accept credit cards and corporate accounts.

Effective March 30, 2020 Shady Grove Transfer Station hours are:

• 9:00am - 5:00pm DAILY - Recycling Center & Public Unloading Facility Scale House (355 entrance)
• 8:00am - 5:00pm MON to SAT - Trash & municipal solid waste Scale House (Shady Grove Road entrance)

Only come to the Shady Grove Transfer Station if you do not have County-provided or private trash collection. If you do not have County-provided or private trash collection and need to dispose of trash at the Transfer Station, DO NOT bring any waste that does not require immediate disposal and DO NOT bring any other waste such as construction debris, bulky/large items, or large amounts of trash from cleaning your house or property (e.g. spring cleaning).

• Residential Loads under 500-pounds will be permitted at the Public Unloading Facility  (entrance from route 355),  subject to the County restrictions.
• Residential loads over 500-pounds will be sent to the scales (entrance from Shady Grove Road) and must pay with credit or debit card.
• Commercial/Business Loads will not be permitted at the Public Unloading Facility.  They will need to use the scales.

If you live in a single family home, the County provides recycling and yard trim pickup.  You will  be instructed to place this recyclable material (green waste, yard trim, recyclables) at the curb for the next regular County collection.

Scrap metal should not be brought to the Transfer Station. Call 311 to arrange for pickup or work with your private trash provider.

We modified Transfer Station hours and operations to minimize exposure of our customers and employees to COVID-19.
