Smiths Creek Landfill

Smiths Creek Landfill, 6779 Smiths Creek Road, Smiths Creek, 48074, Michigan

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.

Before You Go

  • Secure everything with tarps and straps-loose material blows off on the gravel approach and can mean extra time cleaning a mess before you leave.
  • Bring gloves, sturdy shoes, and someone to help with heavy items; drop zones and ramps can be uneven and awkward to navigate solo.
  • Plan for weekend or spring cleanup backups; leave extra time and space for turning trailers on the gravel roads around the site.
