Waste Management - Redwood Landfill

Waste Management - Redwood Landfill is the large landfill out on Redwood Highway in Novato where people bring oversized loads and stuff that won’t go in curbside bins. It’s a working, industrial place with lots of trucks, dirt roads, and a scale that determines the tipping fee.

Pull up to an entrance booth and then onto a scale - vehicles are weighed so expect to stop more than once during the visit. The site is wide open: heavy equipment, roll‑offs and compacted piles of trash are common sights, so drive slowly and watch for backing trucks. Different types of material are staged in separate piles and there are lanes for larger trucks, so follow the arrows and pull into the appropriate lane. Weekends, especially spring cleanup time, can get backed up and lines sometimes reach toward the highway.
