There’s a single entrance with an attendant booth and a vehicle scale-expect to stop on the scale so they can weigh your load and again on the way out. The site is wide open with active tipping faces and compacted earth mounds; trucks and trailers are common, so watch for heavy equipment. Tipping fees are handled by weight at most county landfills, with residential minimums common and separate rates for commercial loads. Recycling or drop-off containers are usually off to one side, and lines build up on weekends and during seasonal cleanup times.
