Parklands Landfill Inc

1070 US-206, Bordentown, NJ 08505

(609) 291-9631

Parklands Landfill Inc is the landfill off US-206 in Bordentown that locals and commercial haulers use when trash has to be buried rather than recycled. The place handles heavy truck traffic and the larger loads that smaller transfer stations won't take. Expect a working, industrial site rather than a tidy public drop-off.

There’s an entrance/checkout booth and a scale - vehicles usually stop on the way in and again on the way out because tipping fees are charged by weight. Pull up to the booth first, then follow signs or attendants (if present) to the unloading area; commercial trucks are common and lanes are arranged to handle them. The site looks like a big open pit with compacted layers and heavy equipment moving around; odors, dust, and noise are normal. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, and lines of trucks are often visible from the road.

Before You Go

  • Secure tarps and loose material before you leave home; uncovered loads can get flagged or create extra mess at the site.
  • Have paperwork and vehicle information handy for the booth since weight tickets and load details are typically recorded.
  • Try to come midweek early in the morning to avoid the heavier weekend and end-of-month hauler rush.
