Waste Management - Anderson Landfill

A working landfill on the north side of Anderson that mostly handles residential and commercial trash headed for burial. Folks from around town bring pickup loads, contractors drop off construction debris, and larger trucks come through the gates. It's the place trash ends up when there's no other route for it.

Drive up to a guarded entrance with a scale booth; trucks usually stop to be weighed so plan for a slow-in and slow-out. The site is large and mostly exposed dirt and compacted mounds of refuse with heavy equipment moving about; pull where directed by the attendant or signage and follow the flow of traffic. Tipping fees are assessed by weight, with a minimum charge commonly applied to small residential loads, and the site does accept commercial deliveries. Recycling and organics are handled separately in many California facilities, so expect separate drop-off areas or instructions for those materials.
