Ecology Solutions (aka Atkinson Landfill)

Small regional landfill tucked just off Commercial Drive in Atkinson, used by local residents, farms, and businesses hauling final-disposal loads. It’s the kind of place where trucks and pickups mix - locals and commercial haulers both stop here for burial of non-recoverable material. Expect a no-frills site rather than a recycling center or transfer station.

There’s a scale house at the entrance where vehicles stop to be weighed so tipping fees are assessed by weight; be prepared to drive across a scale both on the way in and the way out. A single entrance road leads to the working face and compacted cells; the site looks like typical graded cells with machinery and haul roads. Signs and cones usually guide traffic, and there’s a small office/booth near the scale rather than multiple service buildings. Lines can form during spring cleanups or weekends, so there may be a short wait for a turn at the unloading area.
