A big regional landfill off Dawson Canyon Road that handles both household drop-offs and commercial loads. Locals and contractors bring everything here when curbside pickup or transfer stations won't take it. It's the place where loose, heavy stuff ends up being buried rather than recycled.
Drive up to a gated entrance with a booth and a large scale-trucks get weighed in and out, so expect to stop twice. The tipping area is expansive with working faces and compacted mounds of dirt and debris; it feels more industrial than tidy. There are usually separate spots for recyclables or special materials just after the entrance, and traffic can back up on weekends or during big cleanup pushes. Loads are charged by weight under the local tipping fee system, and commercial trucks are accepted alongside residential vehicles.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring something to cover loose loads; wind can blow light debris while waiting in line or on the drop pad.
- Sort bulky items before getting to the booth so unloading goes faster and there's less circling once inside.
- Try to avoid weekend mid-mornings when contractors and homeowners converge for spring or yard cleanups.
