Anderson Creek Landfill

Small-town landfill on the edge of Spring Lake that locals and businesses use when other options aren't handy. It’s the final stop where trash gets buried, mostly serving pickup trucks, trailers, and commercial roll-offs. Visitors should expect a working, no-frills site rather than a tidy recycling center.

Drive up Poplar Drive and you'll see an entrance booth and a weigh scale-trucks usually stop on the way in and again on the way out since tipping fees are weight-based. The site is large with visible cells and dirt roads; loaders and compacting equipment are often moving around. Recycling bins tend to be grouped near the entrance area past the booth, while the active tipping face is farther in and dusty. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there can be a wait during busy times.
