People from around the county - homeowners hauling brush or contractors dropping off construction debris - use it when other options won’t take large volumes. It sits off Billingsley Road and feels like the sort of place that handles big, steady truck traffic rather than small drop-offs.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to drive over a scale; tipping fees are charged by weight, and the site typically has different rates for residential versus commercial loads. After the scale you’ll pull into a tipping area where trucks or trailers unload, and the working face of the landfill is a large, rough dirt area with heavy equipment moving loads. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, are usually grouped to one side of the main entrance road. Weekends and spring cleanup windows can get busy, so expect lines and some wait time if there’s a steady stream of trucks.
