Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Firetower Landfill is the county landfill just off Firetower Road that locals use when their curbside route won't take something. Neighbors bringing household cleanouts or contractor trucks come here because this is where trash is buried long-term. The site sees both residential and commercial deliveries on a regular basis.
There’s a scale and a small entrance booth near the driveway; everyone stops at the scale so vehicles are weighed on the way in and out. Traffic flows up to a tipping area and large open cells where trucks dump loads; expect to back up to a pit or flat pad depending on the load. The property is large and mostly bare ground with compacted dirt roads and large piles of cover material or compacted trash visible from the entrance. Weekends and mornings during cleanup season tend to be busier, so lines can form at the scale and gate.
