Wexford County Landfill
Wexford County Landfill, 990 US 131 North, Manton, 49663, Michigan
Wexford County Landfill is the county dump on US 131 north in Manton, where residents and haulers bring trash to be buried. It’s a working landfill, not a neat transfer station, so expect big trucks and a rough, open site.
Pull off US 131 and there’s a scale and a small entrance booth; loads are typically weighed, so vehicles often stop on the way in and again on the way out. The site is large with dirt roads, exposed slopes and tipping areas - it’s dusty in dry weather and can be muddy after rain. Lines can build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a short wait. County landfills usually accept commercial loads and have tipping fees based on weight and material type.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose items with a tarp so nothing blows out during the trip or while waiting in line.
- Expect to drive onto a scale twice; leave extra time so unloading doesn’t feel rushed.
- Wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for dust or mud depending on recent weather; trucks and heavy equipment move around the site.
