Big B Waste / Hayes Landfill is New Castle’s regional landfill where household and commercial trash ends up being buried. Locals and haulers use it for large or bulk loads that won’t fit at smaller convenience centers. It’s a big site out on S Spiceland Road, clearly built for heavy trucks and steady traffic.
The property is expansive with large open cells and drive lanes - expect to see roll-off trucks, dump trailers, and pickup trucks mixed together. There’s an entrance booth and a scale you’ll drive over; tipping fees are handled on a weight basis at most landfills of this type, so prepare for a weigh-in and a second stop heading out. Drive slowly through the yard, follow the traffic flow to the active tipping face, and be ready to queue if a truck is currently unloading. The site looks industrial rather than tidy-dirt and heavy equipment are the norm.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loads with a tarp before leaving home; loose debris and dust are common on the drive in and out.
- Plan on weekends, especially spring cleanup times, being busiest - weekday visits are usually quicker if that’s an option.
- Expect to use the scale twice: once in and once out, since tipping fees at landfills are typically charged by weight.
