Bath Landfill is the town’s landfill just off Detritus Drive, used by local residents and commercial haulers who need a final disposal site. The place is a working, no-frills facility for burying municipal solid waste and larger commercial loads.
There’s a weigh scale at the entrance-loads are typically charged by weight, so plan to stop there on the way in and again on the way out. An attendant booth sits near the gate where paperwork is handled and directions are given; traffic flows up to the drop-off area and then around to the burial cells. The site is large and mostly open gravel and dirt, with heavy equipment and trucks moving about, so give big vehicles plenty of room. Winter weather can make the access road and tipping areas rough, and weekend lines tend to be longer during spring cleanup months.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure trucks and trailers so nothing blows off while driving; loose debris is a common hassle.
- Expect to be weighed and charged by weight-have any required permits or proof of residency/authorization readily available if the town asks for them.
- Allow extra travel and processing time on snowy days or busy weekends, and approach large equipment with caution when maneuvering to the drop point.
