Champ Landfill on Creve Coeur Mill Road is the big burial site in Maryland Heights used by homeowners cleaning out garages and by commercial haulers. It’s the place where trash gets buried rather than processed, so people bring big loads or demolition debris here. The site sees a steady stream of trucks and trailers most days.
The facility is large and industrial-looking - dirt mounds, heavy equipment moving, and trucks of all sizes coming and going. There’s typically a vehicle scale and an entrance booth where loads are noted; tipping fees at landfills like this are usually charged by weight or by load type under state rules, so expect to be weighed and billed accordingly. Drivers are generally routed to a dumping area and then back over the scale on exit if fees are weight-based. Lines build up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so plan for potential wait time.
