Litchfield-Hillsboro Landfill is the local burial site for household and contractor trash, sitting down on Landfill Trail just outside Litchfield. Trucks of all sizes show up here for final disposal; as a landfill it’s where material is buried in cells and covered. Commercial haulers commonly use places like this, and commercial loads are typically billed differently than residential drops.
There’s a scale/booth at the entrance where vehicles are weighed - expect to stop for a weigh-in and again on the way out. The site is large and dominated by dirt mounds, dozers and compactors; bring a truck that can handle gravel and uneven surfaces. Drivers pull up to a central tipping area to unload, then follow signs back to the scale; tipping fees are charged by weight rather than by item count. Weekends and spring cleanups get busy, so lines can form at the gate.
