(800) 321-8128Republic Services Sand Valley Landfill is the big burial site on Co Rd 209 outside Collinsville that handles household trash and larger commercial hauls. Local residents and trucking companies both use it; tractors and roll-offs are a common sight alongside pickup trucks. The place is clearly scaled for heavy equipment, not a small drop-off center.
There’s a gate/booth and a roadside scale, so expect to pull up, get weighed, and then tip at the working face. The drive in is wide and dusty with rows of compacted cells and heavy equipment moving around; large trucks maneuver slowly, so give them space. Loads are billed by weight and tipping fees differ by load size and type, and commercial loads are accepted. Expect some waiting during peak cleanup times, with trucks queueing near the entrance before moving through the scale and out to the disposal area.
