Carroll County Sanitary Landfill on Kittyhawk Avenue is the county landfill serving Carroll. Residents, landscapers and haulers go there for loads that need to be buried rather than picked up at the curb. Expect a working, open-air site with heavy equipment and large earth mounds.
There’s normally a scale/scale house near the entrance where vehicles get weighed; tipping fees are typically calculated by weight, so stopping more than once is common. Pull in, queue behind other trucks and follow the flow to the unloading area - layout is straightforward but can be spread out. The site looks like gravel roads, exposed soil and compacted trash cells, so plan for dust and uneven ground. Many county landfills accept commercial loads, though how those are handled and any paperwork required varies by facility.
