Republic Services Valley View Landfill is the big landfill just off Sulphur Road that handles the final burial of municipal and commercial garbage. Local contractors and anyone hauling larger loads tend to use it, and it’s clearly built for heavy trucks more than small pickup runs.
There’s a scale house you’ll stop at to register and get weighed; the site charges tipping fees that are set by weight and type of load, so expect to be weighed in and weighed out. Drive slowly past the entrance booth and follow the haul road toward the active cells - the place is open, dusty and dominated by bulldozers and compactors. After dumping, vehicles usually loop back to the scales for the outbound weigh; traffic can back up if several commercial trucks arrive at once.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a cover for loose loads - wind will scatter trash on the approach road.
- Leave extra time on weekends or spring cleanup days since lines at the scale can get long.
- If hauling commercial loads, use a truck that can handle rough grading; the access roads and working areas are geared toward heavy equipment.
