Cortland County Sanitary Landfill

Cortland County Sanitary Landfill, 4708 Town Line Road, McGraw, 13101, New York

Cortland County Sanitary Landfill on Town Line Road in McGraw is the county landfill where local household trash and larger hauler loads are buried. Neighbors and commercial haulers come here when disposal is the final step rather than recycling or transfer. Expect a large, open site rather than a small drop-off center.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale; vehicles are typically weighed in and weighed out, so plan to stop twice. After check-in, drivers are directed to the active dumping area-gravel roads, heavy equipment, and covered mounds are common sights. Facilities like this charge tipping fees by weight, with residential minimums and different commercial rates, so commercial loads are usually accepted but billed differently. Busy periods, especially spring cleanup and weekend mornings, can produce lines and slow-moving trucks at the gate.

Before You Go

  • Bring proof of residency or any municipal authorization-many towns require permits or billing arrangements for county landfills.
  • Secure and tarp loose material; gravel surfaces and truck traffic mean debris can spill and create extra cleanup.
  • Avoid peak times if possible (weekend mornings and spring cleanup); midweek runs tend to move faster.
