A working landfill on the edge of Milford that handles trucked-in trash and local cleanouts. Farmers, contractors and regular folks bring loads here; the place is built for big rigs as much as pickups.
Drive up to a single entrance with a staffed booth and a weigh scale - they charge by weight and use a tipping fee structure so expect to stop twice: in and out. The site is a broad open pit area with dirt roads, compacted trash cells, and piles that change over time; it looks more like a construction site than a recycling yard. Commercial loads are commonly accepted at landfills of this type, so see the booth attendant for direction on where to dump. Traffic can back up during spring fieldwork and weekends, and trucks usually queue near the scale until it’s their turn.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Pull up slowly to the scale and keep paperwork or load IDs handy so the booth process moves faster.
- Cover loose loads before travel and be prepared for dusty, uneven surfaces once inside the site.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings and spring cleanup days if trying to save time; allow extra minutes for lining up at the scale.
