Niagara Falls Landfill on Niagara Falls Boulevard is the municipal landfill serving Niagara Falls and nearby communities. New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation oversees facilities like this, and many upstate towns require permits or specific paperwork before unloading. Expect a working, no-frills place used by homeowners and commercial haulers alike.
The site is large, with rows of compacted material and heavy equipment moving around; the landscape is mostly dirt roads and capped mounds rather than anything tidy. Landfills of this type typically have a vehicle scale and an entrance booth where trucks stop to be weighed, and tipping fees are usually charged by weight. Commercial loads are commonly accepted at facilities this size, though local permits or documentation may be required before dumping. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so waits can be noticeable at peak times.
