Landfill
New Bath Landfill
New Bath Landfill, 5632 Turnpike Road, Bath, 14810, New York
New Bath Landfill on Turnpike Road in Bath, NY is the local municipal landfill where residents and commercial haulers bring trash to be buried. It handles everything from pickup loads to roll-off trucks, so expect steady activity and heavy equipment on site.
Drive up to an entrance booth and a scale - most landfills have tipping fees assessed by weight or per load, so plan for a weigh-in and usually a weigh-out. After the booth there’s a staging area or tipping pad where vehicles unload; look for tractors, compactors and piles of cover soil around the active cells. The site can be dusty and occasionally smelly, and lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup season. Commercial trucks are common here, which sometimes means longer waits and a busier yard.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have proof of residency or any required permit paperwork ready before you get to the booth; many upstate municipalities require documentation for residential rates.
- Secure and tarp loads before pulling onto the property - loose debris on the road or at the scale slows everyone down and creates extra cleanup.
- Sort bulky items and recyclables at the driveway so unloading goes quicker; try for a weekday morning if possible to avoid the weekend spring-cleanup rush.
