Fulton County Landfill, 847 Mud Road, Johnstown, 12095, New York

Get Directions

Fulton County Landfill at 847 Mud Road in Johnstown is the county landfill where household and commercial loads get buried. Locals, landscapers and small haulers use it when municipal pickup or transfer stations won't do; this is the final resting place for trash rather than a sorting or transfer facility.

There’s a scale/scale house near the entrance so vehicles are weighed - tipping fees are charged by weight, meaning expect to stop on the scale coming and going. After weighing in, trucks move up to the active tipping area to unload and then return to the scale for the outbound weight. The site is large with gravel drive surfaces, heavy equipment and piled cells, so watch for trucks and uneven ground. County landfills typically accept commercial loads and bill them by weight, so larger hauls will carry higher tipping fees.

Before You Go

  • Have any required municipal permit or proof of residency ready; many upstate towns require permits or stickers for county landfill use.
  • Plan on the scale: factor weight-based tipping fees into a commercial job’s cost and secure loads so nothing falls out while queuing or driving on-site.
  • Expect slow times on weekends and during spring cleanup - bring someone to help with heavy or bulky items and use tarps to keep loose material contained.
