A working county landfill in Towson that handles both residential drop-offs and larger commercial deliveries. People bring everything from backyard cleanups to contractor loads, and it moves at the scale you'd expect for the Baltimore–Washington corridor. The site sees steady traffic, especially on weekends and during seasonal cleanups.
There’s a gatehouse and a scale you’ll cross when you drive in and again as you leave - tipping fees are charged by weight. Pull into the lane at the booth to check in and follow the signs or attendants directing trucks toward unloading areas and the active cell. The place looks industrial: compacted dirt roads, heavy equipment at work, and rows of trucks; don’t expect landscaped grounds. Lines can form, so be ready to sit for a bit during busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have a plan for where to dump in the truck before getting out - active cells are loud and busy, so speed helps.
- Secure loose items and tarps; strong gusts and equipment can shift loads while waiting in line.
- If hauling commercial loads, approach during midweek or earlier in the day to avoid the biggest queues.
