Murray County Landfill at 6585 Highway 411 S in Chatsworth is the county site where household and contractor trash gets buried. Locals drop off yard debris, old furniture and contractor loads here; county landfills commonly accept commercial trucks, though fees and exact rules vary by county and state.
Drive up to a scale or scalehouse to be weighed-tipping fees at landfills are typically charged by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out for a second weighing. A small intake area or gate will point you toward where to unload, and heavy or bulky items often have separate places to drop off. The site is open and dusty with truck traffic and mounded cells of compacted material, so take care when backing up. Lines pile up on weekends and during spring cleanup season, especially if multiple trucks are ahead of you.
