Jones Crossroads Landfill in Georgetown, Delaware is the local landfill where residents and haulers bring material that needs to be buried rather than recycled. It’s used by household users and commercial trucks moving construction or cleanup loads.
The driveway off Landfill Lane leads to an entrance booth and a scale, so plan to slow down and stop to be weighed-tipping fees are typically assessed by weight or by load. The site is large and industrial: dirt roads, earth mounds, and heavy equipment moving around. After the booth and scale, vehicles head out to a tipping area to unload and then usually return to the scale if charged by weight. Commercial trucks are usually handled differently than passenger vehicles, often with separate paperwork or lanes.
