Get Directions

Kent County - South Kent Landfill in Byron Center is the county dump where material is buried and taken out of circulation. Neighbors, local haulers, and larger trucks all use the site, so expect a working, industrial feel rather than anything tidy or quiet.

Drive in off South Kent Drive and there’s a scale and entrance booth area where vehicles funnel through; the site charges by weight so plan to be weighed both in and out. Pull up to the booth, then follow the flow of trucks to the drop-off/tipping area; heavy equipment and compacted mounds of cover dirt are common sights. The grounds are dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain, with traffic sometimes stacking up near the entrance during busy weekends. Signs and cones guide vehicle flow, but drivers often direct traffic with hand signals, so stay alert and keep distance from moving equipment.

Before You Go

  • Have loads secured and covered; loose debris blowing out of pickups slows everyone down and can get tracked back onto the road.
  • Try to come midweek or early in the morning to avoid weekend lines-spring cleanup weekends are especially busy.
  • Sort bulky or recyclables at home as much as possible so unloading goes faster; separating things before getting there usually saves time on-site.
