Walker Sanitary Landfill sits out on Offal Road just outside Coleville, the spot people use when curbside pickup won't take something. It sees everything from small truckloads to heavy hauler traffic, so expect a working, no-frills site rather than anything tidy.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale; like most landfills, tipping fees are charged by weight so drivers usually stop on the way in and again on the way out. Pull up to the scale first, then follow the traffic to the dumping area where trucks and pickups back up to the working face. The site is mostly dirt roads and compacted trash piles with heavy equipment moving around, so slow down and watch for loaders. Residential loads typically have a minimum fee and commercial loads are handled as larger, billed loads by weight.
