Ontario County Sanitary Landfill on Post Farm Road in Stanley is the county landfill where trash is buried rather than moved on. Locals, landscapers and haulers use it regularly - the site accepts commercial loads and operates on a tipping-fee system charged by weight.
Drive in to a gated entrance with a booth and a scale; loads are weighed and tipping fees are applied, so expect to stop at the scale. After weighing, follow the flow of trucks to the working face where material is unloaded; big rigs and pickups share the same lanes, so take it slow pulling up. The site is large and mostly dirt-long internal roads, heavy equipment moving material, and piles that change over time; dust can be an issue on dry days. Weekends and spring cleanup season commonly have backups, so plan for a wait during busy times.
