Lemons Landfill

Lemons Landfill is the local final-disposal site on Old Bloomfield Road that people from Dexter and surrounding farms use when they need to bury large, household or commercial loads. It’s the kind of place haulers, contractors, and residents with big cleanups stop at when the curbside truck won’t do. Expect a working, no-frills landfill rather than a recycling center or drop-off convenience site.

Drive in past an entrance booth and you’ll cross a scale - tipping fees are charged by weight at landfills like this, so plan for a weigh-in and weigh-out. Pull up to a drop-off area on the active face of the landfill where trucks and trailers unload; the surface is often gravel or compacted earth and can get muddy after rains. There are usually roll-off or transfer points nearby and a clear route for trucks to back in and dump, so watch for heavy equipment and follow signage or staff directions. Weekends and spring cleanup times get the longest lines, while weekdays tend to move faster.
