Hatch Hill Landfill on Hatch Hill Road is where locals haul loads that won’t fit in curbside pickup - homeowners, landscapers and small contractors all use it. It’s a working landfill serving the Augusta area and tends to see a steady flow of trucks rather than light residential traffic. Expect a practical, no-frills site rather than anything fancy.
The entrance has a small booth and a scale; drivers pull up to the booth, go onto the scale, then head to the tipping area and usually cross the scale again on the way out. Tipping fees at landfills like this are typically charged by weight, so paperwork and a second weigh-in are common. The site is large and mostly gravel or dirt, with hauled material in various stages of placement and cover. Many landfills accept commercial loads, but fees and accepted materials vary by facility and are governed by state or local agencies.
