Small, old-school landfill at the edge of New Milford where trash actually gets buried rather than transferred elsewhere. Locals and small haulers use it for final disposal; expect a site that looks like a working tip rather than a shiny recycling center. The place feels practical and a little rough around the edges-more functional than friendly.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop and wait if a truck is unloading ahead. There’s typically a scale to record weights, so plan for an extra stop on the way out. The tipping face and cover areas are large enough for trucks and trailers, with piles of compacted material and heavy equipment visible across the site. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, and the whole place is more dirt-and-gravel than paved showroom.
