Get Directions

Southeast Berrien County Landfill at 3200 Chamberlain Road in Buchanan (49107) is the county landfill locals and commercial haulers use when they need to get rid of the final load. It’s a large working site with heavy equipment and visible dirt and compacted material piles, not a tidy transfer station.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale - pull up to the booth first, then you’ll be sent to the scale and the unloading area; charges are assessed by weight so expect to be weighed and charged accordingly. The grounds are expansive with big trucks moving around; drive slowly, watch for ruts and machinery, and be ready to stop a couple of times during the visit. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup periods, so waits are common when it’s busy.

Before You Go

  • Cover and secure loads before leaving home - loose trash makes cleanup slower and can scatter on the approach roads.
  • Sort out bulky items, metals, and obvious recyclables ahead of time; separating materials speeds unloading when there are separate drop-off points.
  • Wear sturdy shoes and gloves, keep a safe distance from heavy equipment, and have any paperwork or ID ready if residency or load verification is required.
