A large landfill just off US-78 in Monroe that locals and commercial haulers use to dispose of final burial waste. It's the kind of place seen from the highway-big dirt cells and heavy equipment moving around-mainly for loads that need to be buried rather than recycled.
Drive up the entrance road and there will be a scale and an intake station where trucks are weighed and documented; tipping fees are charged by weight as with most landfills. After weighing, drivers follow signs or staff direction to the active tipping face or cell to unload; expect to back in or drive forward depending on the truck. The site is large with heavy equipment, compacted dirt roads, and the staged piles of material, so keep an eye out for loaders and spotters while maneuvering.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose material for the drive in; wind can blow debris on the access road and nearby lanes.
- Bring paperwork for commercial loads and know your load type-commercial haulers are accepted, and documentation often needs to be presented at the scale.
- Wear sturdy shoes and stay clear of heavy equipment; visibility can be limited near the tipping face so use a spotter if backing a trailer.
