Eastern Sanitary Landfill Solid Waste Management Facility (ESL)

Big regional landfill out on Days Cove Road in White Marsh, used by homeowners, local haulers and contractors hauling disposal loads. This is where trash gets buried rather than recycled, so expect a working site with heavy equipment and earth piles. People come here when they need to get rid of a full truck or contractor load rather than small curbside items.

There’s a scale and an entrance booth - landfills like this charge tipping fees by weight, so plan on being weighed. Pull up to the booth for directions, then follow gravel roads to a dumping pad; large dozers and roll-off trucks are always moving around. On the way out you’ll usually stop again for the final weight, so expect slow movement through the site. Lines build up on weekends and during spring-cleanup periods, so waits are common.
