Cape May County MUA Secure Landfill
Cape May County MUA Secure Landfill, Kearney Avenue & 2050 Route 610, Woodbine, 08270, New Jersey
Cape May County MUA Secure Landfill in Woodbine is the county landfill where residents and commercial haulers bring trash to be buried. It sits off Kearney Avenue at Route 610 and handles fairly large loads rather than just small curbside bags.
You'll cross a scale and be charged by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. A small entrance booth and gate mark the driveway; pull up there before heading into the tipping area. The site is mostly exposed cells, haul roads and compacted surfaces - not much shade and wide open views. Weekends, and especially spring-cleanup days, can get backed up when both household vehicles and commercial trucks are working through the line.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down or cover loose material - wind can spread debris and creates extra cleanup time.
- Leave some room in the truck or trailer for separating items; recyclables and bulky pieces are often dropped in different spots.
- If bringing a commercial load, plan for extra time around the scale and queueing since tipping fees are assessed by weight.
