Mobile Landfill Service

Mobile Landfill Service is the big San Jose landfill on Terilyn Ave that handles household and commercial refuse. Locals and contractors drop off loads here; it’s the place trash ends up when recycling and organics options are exhausted. Expect a working, industrial feel rather than anything pretty.

Drive past a small entrance booth and then usually pull up to a scale so the site can weigh incoming loads - they charge by weight, so vehicles are weighed in and out. Trucks and roll-offs are common, and commercial deliveries are accepted alongside residential drop-offs. The site itself has large compacted piles, heavy equipment moving material, and concrete or asphalt ramps for unloading. Lines build up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so there can be wait time before getting to the tipping area.
