(866) 909-4458Small-town landfill on the east edge of Macomb that handles both household drops and larger commercial hauls. Drivers from surrounding farms and contractors swing by here; it’s not a fancy transfer station, it’s where trash gets buried. The site looks like a typical rural landfill-long drive, scale house, and tipping area.
Drive up to a little booth first to check in, then roll over a scale so they can weigh the load; there’s usually a second weigh-out on the way out. Vehicles pull up to a paved tipping apron where trucks dump directly into a working cell or pit. Expect a mix of roll-offs and pickup trucks, and a landscape of compacted dirt, tire tracks, and cover material being spread nearby. Lines can form at busy times, so there may be a short wait before getting to the tipping area.
