Sandtown Landfill on Willow Grove Road is Felton’s burial site for municipal and contractor loads. Neighbors and haulers come here to dump material that will be buried and covered; it’s a working landfill with heavy equipment and open cells. Expect the kind of place where trucks and dirt piles dominate the view.
There’s typically a scale/scalehouse at landfills like this, so tipping fees are usually charged by weight and drivers often stop to be weighed in and out. Pull up to the entrance area and follow the flow of traffic toward the unloading zones; lines form most often on weekends and during spring cleanup. The site looks industrial - graded mounds, compacted cover dirt, and big trucks moving loads - so give yourself a bit of time to find the right spot. Commercial loads are commonly handled under different rates and paperwork than residential loads, so plan for that separation.
