Arrowhead Landfill is the big county landfill that folks in Marion Junction and surrounding areas use when a curbside pickup won't do. It’s the kind of place where contractors drop loads and residents bring big cleanouts. Expect the large open tipping area and the kind of scale you see at most landfills.
Drive up the long access road to a small entrance booth and a scale-landfills charge tipping fees, typically based on weight, so there’s a weigh-in and weigh-out process. Pull up to the unloading face or instructed spot, dump or offload, then head back across the scale to finish. The site is mostly gravel and dirt with visible mounds of compacted material and heavy equipment working the piles. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get backed up, so lines are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads well before getting there; loose trash or shifting loads slow everyone down and can lead to extra handling.
- Bring any required proof of residency or business paperwork in case it’s needed for entry or fee classification.
- Have a plan for where to dump in the truck so the trip through the site is quick-watch the heavy equipment and follow the site signage or attendant directions.
