Republic Services Environtech Landfill

Republic Services Environtech Landfill in Morris is the big county landfill where most neighborhood and commercial trash ends up when it needs to be buried. Local contractors and residents with large loads use it, and it sits out on Ashley Road with the typical industrial feel of a working dump site.

Drive up to a gated entrance with a small booth and a scale lane; trucks get weighed in and then again on the way out since this place charges by weight (tipping fees). The yard is mostly open cells and dirt roads, with piles and heavy equipment moving around; expect some dust on dry days and mud after rain. Pull up to the tipping area when directed and make sure loads are secured before backing in, since the drop spots are straightforward but not slick. There are recycling and sorting spots off to one side, and traffic can slow when a few commercial trucks show up together.
