Durham Regional Landfill

Durham Regional Landfill is the local place where household and commercial trash gets buried. Neighbors, landscapers and haulers turn up here - it's a large regional landfill rather than a small drop-off. Expect big trucks alongside pickup loads on any given day.

There’s a small entrance booth and a vehicle scale; drivers usually stop to check in and then go across the scale, because tipping fees are typically charged by weight. After weighing in, follow the internal roads to an open dumping area with wide dirt ramps and mounded cover material rather than enclosed bays. Commercial loads are common and most landfills of this scale have different rates for commercial versus residential vehicles. Expect gravel or packed dirt surfaces and enough space that spotting where to dump takes a short drive in.
