Valley Landfill Office is the town landfill on Main Street in Drayton, used by local homeowners, farmers hauling larger loads, and commercial haulers. The place is the final stop for trash that gets buried, so expect a working, no-frills operation rather than a recycling center vibe.
There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale where vehicles stop to be weighed; tipping fees are handled based on weight with a common minimum fee for small residential drops. Drive slowly into the yard, pull up to the unloading area or cell they direct you to, and stack material where instructed - large trucks and trailers share the same lanes. The site looks industrial: dirt roads, mounded cells, and equipment like compactors or dozers working the pile during warmer months.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loads securely and tie down loose material so nothing blows off on the trip in; it makes the check at the booth quicker.
- Bring tools or gloves for unloading - some items need breaking up or sorting on the spot to fit in the trench or container.
- Avoid busy times like spring cleanup weekends if possible; lines with trailers and farm trucks can form and slow things down.
