A working landfill out on County Highway 436 used by locals around Gulliver for household cleanouts and larger commercial hauls. It’s the place garbage ends up being buried, so expect a big, open site where trucks come and go. Neighbors and small businesses both use it for final disposal.
There’s a weigh scale and a small entrance booth; vehicles usually pull up, get weighed, tip, then run back over the scale to record the net weight - tipping fees are charged by weight. The site is large and mostly gravel and dirt with visible compacted cells and heavy equipment moving around. Recycling or bottle returns are handled separately in Michigan, so bring deposit-eligible bottles and cans to a return center instead of assuming they belong in the load. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a bit of waiting.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose material so nothing blows out on the road; loose debris can slow unloading and create extra cleanup.
- Bring only what needs burying - take deposit-return bottles/cans to a redemption center in Michigan before loading up the truck.
- Be prepared to stop on the scale both entering and leaving; having vehicle registration or ID handy speeds things up if requested.
