Get Directions

Colonial Landfill at 5328 Highway 70 in Sorrento is where larger loads go when curbside pickup won’t handle them. Contractors, landscapers and homeowners cleaning out houses and yards are the kinds of people who end up here often. It’s a working landfill - big, open and not like the neighborhood drop-off bins.

Expect a driveway with a booth and scale near the entrance; most landfills charge by weight so vehicles often stop again on the way out. Follow the traffic flow to whatever active tipping area is being used that day - loads are driven up and dumped into cells or pits. The site is large, with dirt mounds and heavy trucks moving around, so give big rigs plenty of room. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup season, so there can be a wait.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tie down tarps before leaving home and be ready to uncover loads if needed; loose debris can fly off and slow the process.
  • If tossing from a trailer, bring someone to spot while backing - turning and lining up to dump can be tighter than it looks.
  • Treat commercial trips like a job run: expect big-truck traffic, heavier loads and a weight-based fee structure, so load accordingly and allow extra time.
