Key LCID Landfill is the big county landfill out on Sandy Cross Road that both homeowners and haulers use when nothing else will do. Trucks, trailers and regular folks hauling large loads end up here, since this is where material gets buried at the end of the line.
Pull up to a small entrance booth and then head across a scale - tipping fees are charged by weight, so there’s a weigh-in on the way in and usually another stop on the way out. The site is large, with long dirt ramps and visible landfill cells and heavy equipment moving around; expect dust and the typical landfill smells. Commercial haulers are accepted, so big trucks are common and queues form during busy weekends or spring cleanups. Recycling drop-offs and other bins sit off to one side, with traffic lanes and attendants directing vehicles to specific unload points.

Before You Go
- Bring a load tarp and tie-downs; unsecured debris is usually not allowed and can lead to delays at the scale.
- Drive slowly inside the site-potholes, mud and large trucks are common, and it’s easier to follow the attendants’ hand signals if moving cautiously.
- Plan for possible waits on weekends or during seasonal cleanups; arriving early in the day often shortens the line.
