CGS Landfill sits just off E. US Hwy 52 in Morristown and is the final place trash gets buried in the region. Locals and haulers bring everything from household cleanouts to commercial rolls - it’s not a small drop-off site, it’s a working landfill serving the area.
Drive up and you’ll notice a scale house and an entrance booth where vehicles queue before going in. Loads are typically weighed and fees are based on weight or vehicle type, so expect to stop on the scale going in and again coming out. The site is large with open tipping cells and lots of heavy equipment moving around; give big trucks plenty of room and follow the traffic flow to the tipping area. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get backed up, so there can be a line of cars and trucks waiting to get in.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads; wind can blow debris and creates extra hassle for everyone.
- Leave extra time on weekends or during seasonal cleanups - lines form and the scale process adds minutes.
- Watch for tractors/loaders and follow any flaggers or traffic signs once past the booth for where to pull up and dump.
