Hiawatha Shores Landfill Inc., 3098N 436 County Road, Gulliver, 49840, Michigan

Hiawatha Shores Landfill Inc. just outside Gulliver is the local landfill where trash gets buried and heavier loads end up. Landfills like this commonly take both residential and commercial loads, and tipping fees are assessed rather than being a flat pickup charge. It’s a working site-not a tidy drop-off park-so expect function over curb appeal.

Pull up to an entrance booth and a weigh scale is typically nearby; trucks often get weighed on the way in and again on the way out. After the scale, follow the traffic flow to the active dumping area-there will be heavy equipment, big dirt piles and gravel roads to navigate. The site can be dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain, so ground conditions matter for pickups and trailers. Expect to stop twice if fees are weight-based: once to get weighed and once more after dumping.

Before You Go

  • Avoid weekend mornings and the height of spring cleanup when lines back up; arriving midweek or later in the day usually moves faster.
  • Sort materials before reaching the gate-separate recyclables, metal and bulky items so unloading is quicker and less awkward at the drop point.
  • Secure and tarp loose loads; wind and passing trucks will scatter unsecured debris and make cleanup take longer.
