Presque Isle Landfill
Presque Isle Landfill, 202 Lathrop Road, Presque Isle, 04769, Maine
Local landfill on Lathrop Road used by Presque Isle residents and area haulers. It’s the place where trash gets buried rather than recycled, so expect pickup trucks and bigger roll-offs in the mix.
There’s typically a weigh scale and a small entrance booth-landfills like this charge tipping fees by weight, so a weigh-in is part of the process. Pull up to the scale/booth first, then follow posted directions to the active dumping area. The site looks industrial: gravel drives, berms or mounded areas, and steady truck traffic; footing can be uneven. Plan for dust and noise, and give big trucks plenty of room to maneuver.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home to prevent spills on the access road.
- Try visiting midweek or early in the morning-weekends and spring cleanups tend to be busiest.
- Sort bulky items and construction debris ahead of time so unloading goes faster once directed where to dump.
