What it takes

It’s one of four Orange County convenience centers that take brush and construction debris. The Eubanks Road Waste and Recycling Center and the Walnut Grove Church Road Waste and Recycling Center take paint and household hazardous waste.

Each item has its own rules. Check before you go.

Orange County rules

  • The Waste and Recycling Centers are for Orange County households only, with no business or contractor waste. Each household may visit one center once on a weekday and once on a weekend, for no more than 10 minutes, with up to one pickup truck load (120 cubic feet) and the load tied down.
  • Residents can bring up to 60 cubic feet of construction debris from their own home a day or weekend (about a level 8-by-5-foot truck bed, 2 feet deep) to any center but Bradshaw Quarry, with proof of residency. A bigger load isn’t taken at all, even in part. Scrap metal, cardboard, and plain lumber go in the recycling bins.
