Wexford County Landfill, LLC on N Mackinaw Road in Manton is the local landfill people use for big cleanouts and commercial hauls. It’s where trash gets buried long-term, so expect a working, no-frills site used by homeowners and haulers alike. The place feels industrial rather than tidy-big equipment, dirt roads, and open cells.
You'll likely stop at a scalehouse to be weighed-landfills of this type commonly charge tipping fees by weight or volume, so plan for a brief stop before and after dumping. After weighing, follow the access road out to the active dumping area; the site is mostly uneven dirt, heavy machinery, and compacted piles. There’s usually room to maneuver big trucks and trailers, but surfaces can be rough and can get muddy after rain. Weekends and spring-cleanup times often build up a line of pickups and trailers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads secured and organized before reaching the scalehouse so unloading goes faster and loose debris doesn't blow everywhere.
- Factor extra time for commercial loads-haulers are typically processed by weight/volume and take longer to unload and be weighed.
- Wear sturdy shoes and bring gloves and a tarp; the site is hands-on and the ground is often uneven or dirty.
