Oak Grove Landfill

Oak Grove Landfill is the spot outside Arcadia where trash ends up being buried; both local residents and commercial haulers use it. The place looks like a big rural site with heavy equipment and open cells, not a tidy transfer station. Expect to see trucks and a scale when pulling in.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale, so plan on stopping to be weighed before and after dumping-tipping fees are charged by weight and commercial loads are typically handled there. Drive up to the scale, then follow the internal road to the active dumping area where compactors and dozers move material around. The site is wide open with dirt roads and piled mounds; watch for large trucks and mud after rain. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanups, so bring patience.
