Tri-Community Landfill

Tri-Community Landfill is the town landfill out on Murphy Road that people from Fort Fairfield and nearby towns use when their transfer stations won’t take certain loads. It’s the place where trash actually gets buried, not a drop-off for recycling or bulky-item reuse. Locals, haulers and small businesses all show up here when something needs to go to the final disposal.

Drive up a short gravel lane to a gatehouse and a scale; that scale is how fees are figured, so expect to stop there as you pull in and again on the way out. The site is a working landfill-dirt roads, compacted trash piles and heavy equipment moving around-so watch for trucks and follow any traffic flow signs. In winter the access road can get icy or plowed snowbanks make maneuvering trickier, and weekends or spring cleanups tend to back things up. As a landfill, it’s the end point for material, and these kinds of facilities commonly accept commercial loads and use a tipping-fee structure based on weight.
