Mecca Landfill II

Mecca Landfill II is the landfill out by Mecca where household pickups, landscapers and larger trucks bring trash that won’t be recycled. Locals use it when a load needs to be buried rather than dropped at a recycling center. It’s the kind of place with heavy equipment, big dirt piles, and steady traffic from both residents and commercial haulers.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale on site - landfills charge by weight, so expect to stop on the way out after dumping. Pull up to the booth to check in, then follow the flow of trucks to the active tipping area; watch how others are unloading if unsure. The site is dusty and full of loaders and compactors, so take it slow and keep an eye out for moving equipment. Weekends and spring-cleanup times get backed up, so lines are common then.
