(866) 909-4458Small-to-large piles of hauled trash mark the spot at Waste Management - Westside Security Landfill in Three Rivers, used by both homeowners clearing out garages and commercial trucks dropping loads. It’s a working landfill where loads get buried, and commercial customers do use it alongside residential users.
Drive up the long entrance road and you'll pass a weigh scale and an entrance booth; loads are charged by weight with a tipping-fee structure rather than a flat per-visit fee. After checking in at the booth, vehicles are directed to the drop area or instructed where to pull up for weighing again on the way out. The site is industrial - compacted dirt, heavy equipment moving around, and piles of material; weekends and spring cleanup times can back traffic up. Recycling or drop-off bins sit off to the side past the booth, separate from the main burying area.
