Pheasant Point Landfill

A working landfill on the edge of Bennington that mostly handles household and farm waste from around the area. Farmers, contractors and local residents drop off loads here; commercial trucks are common. The place is the final burying spot for trash rather than a transfer station or recycling center.

Drive up the entrance road and you'll pass a weigh scale and a small booth where someone checks loads and paperwork; tipping fees are charged by weight so expect to stop at the scale. The site is big and open with piles and cells of compacted material and heavy equipment moving about; trucks and trailers are the norm. After checking in, drivers follow signage or staff direction to the active cell to unload, then usually weigh out on the scale again. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, tend to be off to the side rather than in the main tipping area.
