Landers Landfill is the local place where trash gets buried - the kind of big, open site people from town and nearby businesses use when curbside pickups aren't an option. Trucks, trailers, and pickup loads all show up here; it's the final stop for things that can't be recycled or diverted elsewhere.
A single-lane entry with an attended booth and a large scale are part of the routine: most drives stop at the booth, then pull onto the scale and head in to unload. The site itself is wide and dusty, with working areas and compacted dirt faces where material is pushed and buried. Tipping fees are charged by weight at places like this, and many landfills of this size accept commercial loads - so expect commercial trucks alongside neighborhood pickups. Weekends and seasonal cleanups can cause lines, and visibility is limited by dust when it's windy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loads for the desert winds; straps and a tarp keep debris from blowing off during the drive in.
- Have paperwork or load information handy in the cab so stopping at the booth and scale goes quicker.
- Plan for possible waits on weekends or during spring cleanup - bring water and be ready for sun and dust while waiting in line.
