Mount Carberry Landfill at 80 Hutchins Street in Berlin is the local place where trash is buried rather than processed. People bring household junk, yard material and the occasional larger truckload. It feels like a working site - dusty access roads, piles of earth and the typical landfill smells.
There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale so loads are weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight. Pull up, stop at the booth/scale area, then head to the active unloading spot; surfacing is mostly gravel and it’s spread out. Expect to back trailers or climb into a truck bed to toss material, and to see heavy equipment working the piles. Accepted items and fee details are set locally and can vary, so commercial haulers should check rules that apply to their load.
