Jackson County Landfill

Jackson County Landfill is the county’s burial site for household and larger loads of trash just outside Amagon. People from town and surrounding roads haul everything here when curbside pickup won’t cut it. The place is used by homeowners, farmers, and local haulers who need a final-destination landfill.

Drive up a gravel entrance to a single entrance booth and a scale - most county landfills charge by weight so plan for a weigh-in. Pull up slowly to the booth, then follow the lanes out to the tipping area where trucks and trailers unload; the site looks like the typical spread of compacted cells and cover material with access roads cut into the slopes. Expect open, exposed areas rather than covered bays, and watch for dust and uneven ground; larger trucks will need room to maneuver. Since this is a landfill (the place trash is buried), commercial haulers commonly use county landfills, but verify acceptance rules for commercial accounts before hauling large loads.
