Ocean County Landfill

Ocean County Landfill on Route 70 in Manchester Township is the county landfill where both household and bigger hauling loads get delivered for burial. It’s a large, working site used by residents and commercial haulers, so expect an industrial setup rather than a tidy drop-off spot.

Drive up and there’s usually an entrance booth and a scale - tipping fees at landfills are commonly charged by weight or volume, with minimums applied. After the booth the property opens into wide dirt/gravel lanes with heavy equipment and trucks moving material, so follow directions and watch for machinery. Residential drop-offs are often routed differently than big commercial trucks, and there are visible piles and cells where material is compacted and covered. Weekends and spring cleanups get busy, so lines and delays are common.
