Anderson Landfill

Anderson Landfill is the county landfill on Cambridge Road that people from Anderson and nearby areas use when their regular pickup won’t do. It’s a large, working dump site where trucks and trailers tip and compacted waste gets buried. Local landscapers and contractors, as well as homeowners doing big cleanups, typically end up here.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to slow down for a scale - most landfills charge by weight, so expect a weigh-in when you go in and again on the way out. The site is industrial: rows of working equipment, piles of cover dirt and a few obvious drop points where trucks unload. Recycling and organics policies are enforced around California, so people often pull apart loads before driving in; commercial trucks and pickup trailers are common in the traffic flow. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get busy, so there can be lines for the scale and the tipping area.
