Fayette County Landfill

Fayette County Landfill is the main burial site for trash in Somerville and used by residents and businesses who need a final-destination landfill. It’s a county-run facility on S Main St that handles larger, heavier loads rather than drop-off convenience center trips. People bring everything from household cleanouts to commercial loads, though local rules and fees can vary.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be ready to stop; there’s a scale you’ll cross so trucks are weighed and tipping fees are calculated by weight. The site is large and mostly open with areas of compacted fill and heavy equipment working; expect some dust and the typical landfill smells on windy days. After weighing in, drivers are directed to a tipping area where material is dumped and covered; a second weigh-out usually happens on the way out. Lines can form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups since it’s the county landfill, not a quick neighborhood drop-off.
