Small county landfill on US-127 just south of Eaton, used by residents and local haulers for final disposal of municipal trash. Trucks and pickups both show up here; the place looks like a working landfill rather than a tidy drop-off center.
There’s a scale you’ll drive over so loads are charged by weight, which means stopping once on the way in and again on the way out. Pull up to the entrance booth to be directed where to dump; big compacted mounds and earthwork equipment are visible across the site. The tipping fee structure is weight-based, and most commercial loads are accepted at county facilities like this. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so lines at the scale and booth are common.

Before You Go

- Have the load organized so bulky items are easy to toss; it speeds up the driver at the dumping face.
- Expect slower movement if a large transfer truck is being unloaded; plan extra time during peak seasons.
