Perry Ridge Landfill, Inc.

Perry Ridge Landfill is the landfill out on 6305 Sacred Heart Road in Du Quoin, the place contractors, small haulers and residents use when trash needs to be buried instead of recycled. It sits off the main road with the usual big earth cells and a working tipping area. Locals know it as the site where trucks and trailers come and go, not a pretty place but it gets the job done.

Drive up to a small entrance area and there will be a scale-landfills like this charge by weight, so expect to be weighed. Vehicles usually pull onto the scale on the way in and again on the way out, with tipping fees calculated from that. The site looks like exposed dirt faces and capped mounds with semi trucks and trailers around the tipping pad. Commercial loads are typically accepted at landfills of this type, and commercial accounts often have different fee structures than residential customers.
