Waste Management - Spruce Ridge Landfill

Spruce Ridge Landfill on 137th Street is the large county landfill people in and around Glencoe use for hauling household trash and job-site loads. Trucks and trailers are common here; it handles both residential drop-offs and commercial hauls. The site sits out of town and looks like a big working pile with access roads and an entrance booth.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be ready to pull onto a scale-landfills typically charge by weight or volume so there’s usually a weigh-in and a weigh-out. After the booth the traffic lanes slope toward the disposal areas and exposed working faces; the site feels industrial rather than tidy. Expect gravel drives, heavy equipment moving around, and a clear pattern of where trucks line up before dumping. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have backups, so plan for a short wait if arriving then.
