Tri-Community Landfill

Tri-Community Landfill on Murphy Road is the local spot Fort Fairfield residents and nearby haulers use for burying household trash and construction debris. This is a true landfill - the place material gets buried rather than transferred out. Like most landfills, there are tipping fees (often charged by weight) and commercial haulers typically use the site, so expect different rates for larger loads.

Pull into the single entrance lane and you’ll pass a small scale house where vehicles are weighed before dumping. After that, follow the lane to the dumping area and any recycling or metal drop points that are set off to the side. The site is mostly gravel and dirt with big berms and heavy equipment moving piles; it gets dusty in dry weather and slick when it rains. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait then.
