Lemons East Sanitary Landfill / Lemons West Landfill

Lemons East and Lemons West on Old Bloomfield Road are the local landfills people from Dexter and the surrounding area use when stuff needs to be buried instead of recycled. Residents and contractors both show up here with loads that won’t fit in curbside pickup.

Drive in slowly; you’ll usually see an entrance booth and a scale near the approach, so plan on stopping to be weighed and then again on the way out. After the booth, follow the drive toward the active dumping area where compacted mounds and cover soil are visible and larger cells or roll‑offs handle bulk material. Tipping fees are assessed by the facility and are commonly charged either by weight or per load, so it’s best to assume weighing occurs. Commercial haulers frequently use sites like this and often have a different fee structure than residential customers.
