West Carroll Sanitary Landfill

West Carroll Sanitary Landfill is the spot off Landfill Road outside Oak Grove where residents and haulers bring trash that gets buried. Like most area landfills, it accepts both small residential drops and larger commercial loads. The place feels like a working site - a scale house up front and large earthen mounds in the yard.

Drive up and you'll hit a scale; tipping fees are typically charged by weight, so expect to be weighed in and then weighed out. There’s a small booth at the entrance where payment is handled before heading to the active dumping area. The site is pretty big and can be dusty or muddy depending on the weather, with heavy equipment moving around and piles of compacted material. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanups, so busy times can move slowly.
