Juniper Ridge Landfill
Juniper Ridge Landfill, 2828 Bennoch Road, Old Town, 04468, Maine
Juniper Ridge Landfill on Bennoch Road (Old Town 04468) is where local residents and small haulers bring trash that needs to be buried. It’s the kind of place contractors swing by as well as folks doing big household cleanouts.
Landfills this size usually look like large open pads with piles of cover soil, dump faces and heavy equipment moving around. There’s typically an entrance booth and a scale - tipping fees at facilities like this are commonly charged by weight, so expect a stop to be weighed. Pull up to the booth, then follow the signs or flaggers toward the drop area and watch for trucks moving around; weekends and spring cleanup times often have backups.

Before You Go
- Tie down and cover loads before leaving home so nothing blows out on Bennoch Road; loose debris makes unloading slower and messier.
- Sort out recyclables and anything reusable ahead of time so dropping off is quicker and there’s less guesswork at the pit.
- Wear sturdy shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dusty or muddy, keep clear of heavy equipment, and stay where directed after weighing until it’s your turn.
