A working landfill at the edge of Burnsville, where most household trash and larger commercial loads end up. Locals, landscapers and haulers use this place when curbside pickup won't do or when large volumes need dropping off.
A drive-up entrance leads to a staffed scale booth where vehicles stop to be weighed; fees at facilities like this are usually calculated by weight so there’s a second stop on the way out. The site is large - rolling mounds, compacting equipment and long access roads are visible from the entrance. Expect basic site infrastructure rather than fancy amenities, and in winter the layout can feel wind-swept with snowbanks along the lanes.

Before You Go
- Cover loose material or secure tarps; wind and trucks can turn a messy load into a bigger cleanup problem.
- Bring a pickup or trailer that can be backed up a short distance - many drop-off points require a tailgate or ramp for unloading.
- Avoid weekend mornings during seasonal cleanups if possible; lines often form and the scale booth can become congested.
