Carleton Farms Landfill

Carleton Farms Landfill on Clark Road in New Boston is a large-scale burial site for municipal and bulk trash. People bring everything from truckloads after a renovation to smaller residential hauls. It feels like a working industrial spot-lots of trucks, big dirt piles, and the steady coming-and-going of semi rigs.

Drive up to a small scalehouse or entrance booth near the gate and be prepared to stop; there's a scale so vehicles are weighed and tipping fees are calculated by weight. After weighing in, larger trucks usually follow signage toward the active cell areas while smaller vehicles are routed to separate drop-off points. The site is expansive with worked-over mounds and heavy equipment moving around, so expect dust and the need to maneuver around big rigs. Weekends, especially spring cleanup times, tend to be the busiest with lines forming at the entrance.
