Pike Landfills Inc in Troy is the local landfill where trucks and pickup loads end up when curbside or county centers won't take something. Neighbors, contractors and anyone hauling bulk trash use it for final disposal; it's not a drop-off recycling center, it's where material gets buried.
There’s a scale and an entrance booth to check in, so plan to stop and be weighed - most landfills charge by weight and you’ll usually stop again after tipping. Drive up to the tipping face or pad and unload where instructed, then follow the exit route back across the scale. The site is large and open, with earthwork, compacted areas and working equipment visible from the tipping area. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines and wait times can be noticeable.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose material before leaving home; uncovered loads can get delayed or fined at landfills.
- Have a plan for where to dump in the truck bed so unloading is quick - longer hauls or commercial-style loads take more time to sort and tip.
- Try to arrive midweek or early in the morning to avoid weekend crowds and longer waits.
