Waste Management - McGill Road Landfill

3895 McGill Rd, Jackson, MI 49201

(517) 789-9821

Waste Management - McGill Road Landfill is the large county landfill on McGill Road that both residents and commercial haulers use. It’s the place trash ends up being buried, so expect regular heavy truck traffic and the scale of a full-scale landfill operation.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to stop briefly for instructions; there’s typically a scale nearby so vehicles are weighed. The site is mostly open dirt and compacted cells with a working face where trucks tip - big roll-off trucks and pickups both pull up to the same area. Lines can form, especially on weekends and during spring cleanups, and drivers will usually wave vehicles into position at the dumping spot before sending them back across the scale.

Before You Go

  • Secure loads with a tarp or straps; loose debris can be flagged and slows the process for everyone.
  • If hauling commercially, bring paperwork or business ID commonly required for commercial deliveries so processing goes faster.
  • Expect dust and noise-dress accordingly and close vehicle vents while waiting in line.
