Courtney Ridge Landfill, LLC

Courtney Ridge Landfill in Sugar Creek is where local trash gets buried; people drop off everything from carloads of household junk to larger trucked loads. This is the sort of place residents and haulers use when curbside pickup won’t handle the job.

There’s a scale house near the entrance, so plan to drive over a scale and then again on the way out since tipping fees at landfills are typically charged by weight. Pull up to the booth and then follow the lane toward the active dumping area; the site is mostly gravel and dirt with big mounded cells where material is placed. Tipping fees usually vary by load type, often with different rates for commercial haulers versus residential vehicles and sometimes a minimum charge. Lines can form, especially weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect trucks and trailers waiting their turn.
