Pine Ridge Landfill

Pine Ridge Landfill is the big municipal landfill out on Rex Drive that locals and small haulers use for burying household and commercial rubbish. Trucks and pickup loads both show up here, especially after yard work or storm cleanup. It’s a working landfill - large, noisy, and not the sort of place to linger.

Drive past an entrance booth and head to the scale - they charge by weight, so expect to stop on the way out as well. The site has tall dirt mounds, bulldozers and compactors moving around, and a clearly marked area for dropping off loads; pull up slowly and follow the traffic flow. There’s a separate spot for yard debris and loads are directed by attendants toward the active tipping face. Lines get long on weekends and right after storms when everyone’s hauling branches and construction debris.
