Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Fines Industrial Landfill is the large county landfill out on Plant Road that both residents and haulers use when trash can't go to a convenience center. It's the kind of place where tractor-trailers mix with pickup trucks and the landscape is mostly long, covered cells and dirt roads. People come here when they need the final dump - not a drop-off for recyclables or small curbside pickups.
Drive up a graded entrance road and you'll likely see an entrance booth and a weigh scale nearby - landfills charge by weight, so plan on stopping more than once. Trucks pull forward to a tipping pad or working face; expect heavy equipment, dusty conditions, and stacked soil or compacted mounds in the active areas. There can be a fair bit of waiting during busy times like spring cleanup, and the traffic pattern usually has separate lanes for inbound and outbound because of the scale. Keep clear sightlines and watch for big trucks swinging through the site.
