Waste Management - Jefferson County Landfill

Small but active county landfill just off Gravel Pit Road that handles the final burial of trash for Jefferson County residents and commercial haulers. Locals and dump truck drivers both use it-expect larger rigs alongside pickup trucks on busy days.

Drive up to a gated entrance with a scale booth where commercial loads are weighed; passenger vehicles usually pull past the booth before dumping. There’s a working face where trucks tip, piles of cover dirt and compacted areas for the different cells, and the site can be dusty on dry days. The scale means tipping fees are generally weight-based, and commercial loads are accepted alongside residential drop-offs. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have lines, so plan for a short wait if it’s a busy day.
