Albany Landfill

Albany Landfill, 525 Rapp Rd N, Albany, 12205, New York

Get Directions

Albany Landfill on Rapp Road is the big county dump where neighborhood trash finally gets buried. People bring everything from yard-cleanup loads to contractor trucks, and it handles larger, commercial-style deliveries as well. Expect a worksite feel rather than anything slick or tidy.

Walk-up style entry with a booth and a scale - tipping fees are calculated by weight, so most vehicles get weighed in and weighed out. The property is large, with dirt drives, piles of compacted trash and active spreading areas; traffic can move slowly when several trucks are unloading. Loads are typically sorted on-site, so sorting as much as possible beforehand saves time. Weekends and spring-cleanup days get backed up, and lines at the scale are pretty common.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loads so nothing flies out on the road and unloading isn’t a bigger mess than it has to be.
  • Keep any municipal permits or hauling paperwork handy; tipping fees are weight-based and commercial deliveries are treated differently than small residential drops.
  • Sort bulky items, recyclables and general trash before getting out of the truck so unloading goes faster and fewer trips around the yard are needed.
