Small-town landfill on Highway 37 that handles the usual mix of residential and farm trash for the Turin area. Used by local homeowners and farmers, especially during seasonal cleanups when the place gets busier. It’s the kind of spot where you pull in, get weighed, and drop loads into the cells on the ridge.
Drive up to a scale booth where vehicles are typically weighed - charges are usually set by weight, so expect to stop twice for a weigh-in. The site is an open, earth-covered operation with dirt roads and compacted working faces; bring a truck or trailer that can handle rough ground. Commercial-sized loads are commonly handled at county landfills like this, so large trailers are not unusual on site. Weekends and springtime see the longest lines, and it takes a bit of patience to get through during peak agricultural seasons.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose material before the trip - tarps and tie-downs keep loads from shedding on the highway and make unloading faster.
- Have an idea of whether the load is a normal household/yard load or a larger commercial/farm load; staging larger trailers so they can be driven up to the working face saves time.
- Expect dusty, uneven ground: wear work boots, keep a spare set of clothes, and allow extra time if visiting on a weekend or during spring fieldwork.
