Monroe County Landfill

Monroe County Landfill is the county dump out on Strickland Loop used by homeowners hauling brush, construction contractors, and commercial haulers. It’s the place where garbage gets buried rather than sorted; expect to see big trucks and a working, no-frills operation. Locals swing by with full pickups, trailers, or dump trucks to unload and move on.

There’s usually a weigh scale and a small entrance booth where vehicles stop before heading in; charges are handled by weight with tipping fees that vary by load type. Drive slowly past any office area, then pull up to the active tipping face or drop-off area as directed by signs or traffic flow. The site looks like compacted dirt and gravel with piles of different loads and heavy equipment moving around, so stay clear of loaders and keep to the vehicle routes. Expect a short wait during busy weekends and spring cleanup when pickup trucks and trailers line up.
