South Cushman Landfill

South Cushman Landfill, 455 Sanduri Street, Fairbanks, 99701, Alaska

Get Directions

South Cushman Landfill at 455 Sanduri Street is where a lot of Fairbanks trash gets buried - it's a working landfill used by residents and businesses. It feels big and industrial, not like a neighborhood drop-off; plan on a real site with heavy equipment and open cells.

Drive up to an entrance booth and a scale area - landfills usually weigh trucks, so expect to stop once before dumping and again after. The roads inside are mostly gravel and can be dusty or muddy depending on the season, and large trucks and dozers are often moving around. Tipping fees are generally charged by weight or by load at places like this, and commercial loads are commonly accepted but may be routed or billed differently. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so timing matters if a quick trip is the goal.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp any loose material - wind can catch things on the drive in and the haul into town is no place for flying trash.
  • Come ready for rough ground: sturdy shoes, a jacket for wind, and a vehicle that can handle gravel or mud.
  • If hauling a trailer or a commercial load, position the rig so backing into the dumping spot is straightforward and expect separate routing or paperwork compared with a pickup load.
