Mill Seat Landfill on Brew Road is Bergen's landfill - the final place where trash and bulky debris get buried. Residents and haulers from town and nearby areas use it, and it operates at landfill scale with a weigh-scale and tipping-fee setup. It’s a working site rather than a neat drop-off lot, so expect a gritty, truck-heavy place.
There’s a scale and an entrance booth where vehicles are weighed and tipping fees are assessed by weight or volume, so plan to stop going in and coming out. Commercial loads are commonly accepted, though many municipalities around here require permits that can affect haulers. The scene is trucks, compacted piles, dirt roads and exposed cover material - not landscaped; dress for mud and dust and keep tarps tied down. Weekends and spring cleanup bring lines, so busy times add real waiting.
