Smiths Creek Landfill is the town’s landfill at 6779 Smiths Creek Road in Smiths Creek, Michigan. Residents and local haulers use it when a load is too big for curbside pickup.
Drive past a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop on a scale; tipping fees at landfills are typically charged by weight or per load so there's often a pause at the scale. The site is mostly gravel and compacted dirt with visible berms and cover soil instead of paved lanes. Landfills of this size commonly accept commercial loads, though commercial deliveries are usually treated differently from residential drop-offs. On exit expect to stop at the scale again if the site charges by weight, and allow extra time during busy community cleanup periods.
