Kersey Valley Landfill

Kersey Valley Landfill sits off E. Kivett Drive in Jamestown and handles the big, bury-it type loads that don't fit in regular curbside pickup. Locals - contractors and homeowners doing major cleanouts - use it for oversized debris and construction material. Like most landfills of this scale, tipping fees are charged by weight rather than by the truck or cubic yard.

You'll drive up to a weigh scale near the entrance and likely get weighed on the way in or out, so plan to stop twice. After weighing, follow the traffic flow to the active cells where large piles are compacted and heavy equipment moves around; the surface is mostly gravel and dirt. Visibility can get dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain, so take it slow and watch the ground. Expect lines at peak times, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup season.
