Oak Avenue Landfill is the big county landfill out on Oak Ave that both homeowners and haulers use when trash needs to be buried rather than recycled. Locals and commercial trucks come through here; it’s the type of place where trucks and pickup loads share the same entrance lanes.
A scale house and weigh station sit near the entrance, so plan to drive up, get weighed, and then head inside the site before heading back to the scale. The working face of the landfill is a large open area with compacted berms and heavy equipment moving material around; visibility is good from the access roads. There’s usually a staffed booth for checks at the gate and clear signage for where to tip loads versus where recycling or special drop-offs are located. Because this is a landfill, tipping fees are charged by weight and the site accepts commercial loads in addition to residential deliveries.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a load that’s easy to spill out-dumping is often with a steep sideslope and a quick back-and-forth maneuver.
- Expect lines on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup; arrive earlier in the day if possible to avoid backups.
- Have paperwork and any required IDs handy at the gate to speed up the weigh-in process.
