New Castle County residents wishing to drop off yard waste when the Brandywine Hundred and the Polly Drummond Hill sites are closed can take yard waste to DNREC’s other site.
DART Mid-County Community Yard Waste Demonstration Site

The site is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of U.S. Route 13 and Route 72 near Bear. (Turn into the DART facility at 1423 S. Dupont Hwy, Bear.)
DNREC’s three community yard waste demonstration sites were developed as one of many yard waste management options to help New Castle County residents comply with the yard waste ban. Commercial businesses, such as landscaping and lawn care companies as well as municipalities, are not eligible to drop off materials at these sites.
