Small but practical landfill just off 247th Ave SE that handles household and commercial trash for folks around Sawyer and the surrounding farm country. Locals and haulers use it-it's the place where loads actually get buried and out of sight. Winters can tighten things up, so expect the site to look and feel different in deep cold.
Drive up to an entrance booth and then cross a scale on the way in; tipping fees are charged by weight so vehicles usually stop on the way out for a second weigh-in. The site is a working dirt-and-gravel operation with piles, compactors, and berms-nothing fancy, just a lot of trucks and open cells. Commercial trucks are handled there, and larger rigs commonly have a separate traffic flow from smaller pickups. During spring cleanup or nice weekends, lines form and maneuvering a trailer takes extra patience.

Before You Go
- Tie down loose loads and cover light items-windy days will scatter debris and make unloading messier.
- Plan extra time if hauling a trailer or a full pickup; backing into unloading spots can be tight and weekends get busy.
- Dress for the weather and wear sturdy boots-the ground gets muddy in thaw and icy in winter, so traction matters.
