Crestline Sanitary Landfill

Crestline Sanitary Landfill on Crestline Road in Panaca is where local trash and larger loads get buried rather than processed. Residents and haulers from the area use it when curbside options won't handle a big drop-off. It’s a working, no-frills landfill - expect an industrial site rather than a tidy transfer station.

Drive up to a gate or small booth and there will typically be a scale; landfills of this type commonly charge tipping fees by weight, so budget for that and expect to stop for a weigh-in. After the scale, vehicles head to a tipping area or active cell - the site looks like mounded, compacted material and open dirt rather than neat rows of bins. Loads usually only take a few minutes to tip, but lines form on weekends and during spring cleanups. Wind can kick up dust and loose debris, so secure anything that might blow off.
