L and D Landfill

L and D Landfill on Fruitridge Road is the local burial landfill in Sacramento where both household cleanouts and bigger truck loads end up. It's a large, working landfill that handles steady heavy traffic and is the kind of place commercial haulers use as well as neighbors with a trailer full of junk.

A small entrance booth and a weigh scale are visible as you pull in - trucks get weighed and tipping fees are generally charged by weight. Drivers usually line up, check in at the booth, then back up to a working face to unload before returning across the scale. The site is mostly dirt roads and compacted piles; expect to see large trucks, loaders moving material, and occasional queues, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup. Since this is California, be prepared for sorting around organics and recycling - many local facilities separate green waste from general trash.
