A county landfill where household and commercial trash ends up being buried. People from Paul and surrounding rural areas use it when curbside or small transfer stations aren't enough. It’s the final stop for loads that can’t be handled at convenience centers.
Look for a gatehouse or small entrance booth and a pair of wide access roads leading into the tipping area. There’s typically a drive-over scale at landfills and tipping fees are usually charged by weight or a minimum fee; commercial loads are commonly accepted though rules can vary. The site is mostly dirt and compacted cells with heavy equipment moving around, and recycling or drop-off bins are often positioned off to the side. Expect to pull close to the unloading face when it’s your turn, then drive back past the scale before leaving.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose items so nothing blows out on the road or around the site; loose debris can get you delayed.
- Have trash separated in advance-metal, bulky items and standard household garbage are handled differently at many rural facilities.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible; those times often have the longest lines and slower turnover.
