Central Sanitary Landfill Inc is the big county landfill just outside Pierson on W Cannonsville Rd, used by both homeowners cleaning out barns and local haulers dropping off commercial loads. It’s the kind of place people go when trash needs to be buried and there’s no other option closer by.
Drive up the gravel entrance to a small gate booth and you’ll be directed onto a scale - tipping fees are calculated by weight, so expect to stop twice, once in and once out. The site is wide open with rolling cells and compacted dirt roads; trucks pull up to a tipping face where loads are dumped and pushed into the working area. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, tend to sit near the entrance past the booth, and lines can form on weekends or during spring cleanup.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have a plan for where to park and how to back in - larger trucks need room at the tipping face, and the working area can be dusty and uneven.
- Keep paperwork handy (ID or account info) since the booth will ask for something to identify you or your load before sending you onto the scale.
- Expect delays on busy days; arrive early in the morning if trying to avoid the weekend and seasonal rushes.
