Republic Services Whitefeather Landfill

2401 E Whitefeather Rd, Pinconning, MI 48650

(989) 879-3372

Republic Services Whitefeather Landfill is the big landfill out on E Whitefeather Road that handles both household drop-offs and larger commercial hauls. Neighbors bring everything from pickup-truck loads to roll-offs, so it's a busy, no-frills kind of place. The site sits a ways off the main road and looks like a working industrial property more than a park.

There’s a drive-up entry with a weigh scale visible as you pull in - tipping fees are charged by weight or volume, so expect to stop on the scale twice. An entrance booth or gate controls access and directs you where to go; smaller residential loads usually head to the general tipping area while commercial trucks follow separate lanes. The landfill itself is mostly compacted cells and cover dirt, with piles and heavy machinery moving about; recycling or special-material drop-offs, if available, are typically located to the right of the main entrance. Lines can form during weekends and during spring cleanup, so the place can feel crowded and slow at times.

Before You Go

  • Have your load loosely sorted before getting to the booth so the attendant can direct you quickly and you don’t waste time rearranging things at the pit.
  • Expect to use the scale both coming in and going out - leaving with a ticket or receipt tied to weight is common, so keep any paperwork handy.
  • Drive slowly on-site and watch for heavy equipment and mud; a truck with a tarp and tied-down load makes things faster and safer for everyone.
