Ocean County Landfill on Fairbanks Ave is Manchester Township’s local landfill where bulky residential and commercial trash gets buried. Trucks, local haulers and residents use it; the place is hard to miss once the heavy equipment and dirt mounds come into view.
Expect to stop at a scale/entrance booth area-landfills like this typically charge tipping fees by weight, so most vehicles get weighed in and out. The yard feels industrial: dirt roads, graded cells and big piles of compacted fill with loaders and trucks moving around. Follow the flow of traffic or where other drivers are pulling up for dumping; larger commercial loads are common and the site handles heavy vehicles. It’s not a tidy recycling center-think big machinery, dusty lanes and a practical, working landscape.
