Kiefer Landfill is the big county dump out on Kiefer Boulevard in Sloughhouse, used by homeowners and businesses hauling the stuff that can’t be recycled or composted. It’s a working landfill where incoming material is buried and tipping fees apply; commercial haulers commonly use places like this as well.
Drive up the access road toward a weigh scale and an entrance booth; most landfills in California charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to stop at the scale twice - in and out. The site is large and open with rows of compacted soil and piles of incoming material; recycling and organics drop-off areas are often placed near the entrance, so those areas are usually to the right or close to the booth. Trucks and pickups share the same traffic flow, so watch for slow-moving vehicles and spotters guiding larger loads.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and green waste before coming - California facilities commonly require separation and it saves time at the gate.
- Secure loose material with tarps or straps; loose debris can blow out on the way in and out and slows down unloading.
- Plan to come on a weekday if possible - weekends and spring cleanup days tend to have longer lines and slower processing.
