A working landfill on US-45 just south of Mayfield that locals use when curbside or transfer options won’t cut it. It’s the kind of place where pickup trucks, contractors and haulers show up to drop loads and move on.
Drive up the long access road to a simple entrance booth and be ready to stop at a scale; charges are typically weight- or volume-based at landfills of this size so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out. The site is mostly open cells and compacted earth-large areas of dirt, occasional machinery, and piles to direct traffic toward active tipping spots. Pull up to the booth, get directed to a drop area, tip the load, then head back across the scale before leaving.

- Cover loose material with a tarp on the drive over; debris blowing out of a truck is common and messy to clean up.
- Bring ropes or straps to secure odd loads-flatbeds and trailers move differently once empty and wind can shift things.
- Avoid early Saturday or late spring weekend afternoons if possible; those are the times that tend to have the longest lines at the scale.
