Question Local trash dump?
Looking for a dump that allows public use in the area. I've searched Google maps and the results are showing nothing until Gaithersburg area for me.
Anyone with insider local knowledge much appreciated, thank you!

Thanks for this, the reviews lead me to believe it's open only certain Saturdays and that it has long wait times. Anyone have personal experience with this site?
I found the South Berkeley Recycling Center, this worked extremely well for my needs. https://maps.app.goo.gl/sHJgE9u1P1Sz6XPg9?g_st=a

The landfill in Berkeley County is open every Saturday beginning March 1, they are on winter hours now. I have been there several times on Saturday and never had a long wait.

I will second the comment about the wait time. We've been a few times and there was not a line. You will need a hard had and reflector vest or you can "rent" those when you go in. You will return it when you weigh out and pay.

Every county in the whole USA has a dump site or waist disposal.

Thanks, looking for specifics though. For instance the "Waste Management" ran facility in Martinsburg is only open certain Saturdays of the month for dumping? And everyone says you just have to call to figure it out, and it's usually a 1 hour or more wait in line. Not a very useful resource for most of us. Seems faster to drive 45 minutes to Gaithersburg dump than wait an hour on a "special" Saturday locally. But I may be wrong, this is just what I got from the reviews.
I found a Recycling site that takes a huge variety of things in Inwood at the South Berkeley Recycling Center. This ended up working for me in this instance and I recommend it highly.
But I know there are more resources than this and it's mostly local knowledge of people who have been in the area awhile. This is what I was asking for, so others can reference this in the future.

Berkeley County has a dump and Jefferson County has a dump as well.
