Trucks and trailers show up here alongside pickups from homeowners; it’s basically where trash gets buried at the end of the line. The site sits back from the road with a visible entrance and scale area.
There’s a drive-up entrance with an attendant booth and a weighbridge so loads are charged by weight - expect to stop on the scale both in and out. After the booth, traffic funnels to a drop-off area and the working face of the landfill; the place looks like compacted dirt, heavy machinery, and graded cell hills. Recycling bins or separate containers are often off to the side past the initial drop zone, and larger commercial trucks will have room to maneuver even when it’s busy. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form at the entrance.
