County-operated landfill out on White House Road that handles the region's solid household and large loads. Locals, haulers and landscapers use it-it's the place where trash actually gets buried rather than recycled or reused.
A single-lane booth and a pair of heavy scales are visible from the approach; trucks usually stop at the booth and then pull onto the scale. The site is large and industrial - big compactors, dirt piles, and rows of working equipment are the main landmarks. Expect to drive slowly around a wide, gravelly working area and to be routed to a dumping spot; after dumping, most vehicles go back over the scale to be weighed again. Traffic can be heavy at peak times, with larger commercial rigs sharing the road with household trucks.

Before You Go
- Secure loose materials and cover loads before getting on the road - wind can scatter lightweight debris quickly on the site.
- Leave wide gaps when following larger trucks; they need more room to maneuver and reverse into dumping spots.
- Plan for delays on weekends and during spring cleanups; arriving earlier in the day usually means a shorter wait and clearer access to the scales.
