Menominee Landfill on Elmwood Road is where household and commercial trash from the Menominee area ends up - people bring everything from a pickup load after a garage clear-out to larger contractor loads. The place is used by homeowners, landscapers and haulers alike and looks like a big, working site rather than a tidy drop-off point.
Expect to be weighed - most landfills charge by weight, so there’s typically a weigh-in and weigh-out on site. Pull up to an entrance booth or gate, follow the flow to a dumping area, then return to the scale before you leave. The site is large with graded cells, piles of cover soil and heavy equipment moving around, so drive slowly and watch for trucks and machinery. Commercial loads are usually accepted and are handled differently from small residential loads, which is reflected in the tipping fee structure.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads; wind and passing trucks can scatter debris on the road and around the site.
- Sort what can be separated in the truck-bulky items and mixed loads take longer to unload and can require extra trips around the site.
- Avoid weekend mornings or spring cleanup weekends if possible; those times commonly have the longest lines and delays.
