Clinton Landfill Inc. on Heritage Road is the local landfill for the Clinton area - the place most people head when a pickup load or a contractor truck needs to get rid of stuff. Pickup trucks, trailers and larger haulers are commonly seen coming and going. The site looks like a working landfill rather than a recycled-material drop-off, so bring what needs burying, not what’s meant for curbside recycling.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale near the driveway; most landfills charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to cross a scale and be weighed. Pull into the lane at the booth, follow the signs and then drive up to the active dumping area where heavy equipment and mounded, graded cells are visible. Traffic can back up during weekends or neighborhood cleanup season, and unloading usually happens right at the working face rather than inside a building.
