High Acres Landfill

High Acres Landfill in Fairport is the regional burial site where household and commercial trash gets taken to be buried. Locals and haulers use it when town transfer stations are full or for larger commercial loads. It sits off Perinton Parkway and handles large-scale disposal rather than drop-off recycling.

There’s a weigh scale as part of the entrance process, so vehicles usually stop once on the way in and again heading out; tipping fees are charged by weight and commercial loads are billed differently from residential loads. The entrance has a small booth and lanes to queue, with heavy equipment and hauling trucks visible on the working face. Expect a gravelly, industrial yard with piles of cover soil and compacted trash areas rather than a tidy public yard. Weekends and seasonal cleanups typically have longer lines and slower movement through the site.
