Landfill
Brent Run Landfill
Brent Run Landfill, 8335 Vienna Road, Montrose, 48457, Michigan
Brent Run Landfill on Vienna Road in Montrose Township is the final place where trash is buried - a proper landfill, not a small drop-off. It’s big enough that pickup trucks and larger loads show up regularly, so expect a working dirt site with visible mounds and open tipping areas.
Pull off Vienna Road into a gravel drive and there is a scale and a small entrance booth before the tipping area. Landfills like this commonly charge by weight, so plan to be weighed in and out and to stop briefly for that. The active area is dusty and gritty with open cells and piled cover dirt, so keep loose stuff secured. Weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to slow things down, so allow extra time for queues.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads - wind and truck traffic will scatter trash if things aren’t tied down.
- Load bulky items so the truck can back straight into the dumping zone; break down furniture and awkward pieces beforehand.
- Expect the scale and gate to cause brief delays; avoid peak weekend/spring-cleanup times if trying to move quickly.
