Rattlesnake Landfill

Rattlesnake Landfill is the local landfill just off Wolverine Road that residents and haulers use when trash needs to be buried rather than recycled or taken to a transfer station. People from Shelley and the surrounding rural area bring household and commercial loads here, especially when spring cleanup fills up smaller bins.

Drive in past the entrance and you'll see a scale where vehicles are weighed; the site operates on a tipping-fee structure so loads are charged by weight. Pull up to the unloading area and follow the traffic flow across the working face of the landfill - it looks like typical earth and compacted refuse with heavy equipment moving around. The site is large and open, not paved everywhere, so expect some gravel and mud depending on the season. Lines can form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so there may be a short wait before getting to the scale and the drop-off point.
