Montrose Landfill

Montrose Landfill is the big burial site out on Landfill Rd that locals use when the curbside pickup won't take something. Trucks, trailers and neighborhood cleanups all show up here; commercial haulers use it too. It’s the kind of place where people stop by with construction debris, old furniture and bulky items that don’t belong at the curb.

Drive past the entrance booth and a scale - tipping fees are charged by weight so vehicles usually stop twice, once in and once out. The site is large and mostly exposed - think dirt roads, piles of compacted material and heavy equipment moving around. Pull up to the unloading area the attendants direct traffic to, then back up and dump; lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup. Recycling drop-offs (if available) are typically off to the side, so keep an eye out for separate bins as you pull in.
