Ontario County Sanitary Landfill

Ontario County Sanitary Landfill, 3555 Post Farm Road, Stanley, 14561, New York

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.

Before You Go

  • Bring any municipal permit or proof of residency that may be required - many upstate towns have permit rules for residents.
  • Secure and cover loose material; tarps and straps keep loads from blowing or spilling and make unloading smoother.
  • Skip weekend mid-mornings in spring if possible - midweek or early-morning visits usually move faster and have shorter lines.
