Republic Services Vienna Junction Landfill

Republic Services Vienna Junction Landfill is the big private landfill out on Hagman Road that handles municipal and commercial burial of trash for the Toledo area. Local haulers and residents with larger cleanups use it as the final stop for loads that need to be buried rather than recycled. The site is clearly industrial-think large dirt cells, compacting equipment, and steady truck traffic.

Drive up to a small entrance booth where vehicles are directed to the scale; tipping fees are charged by weight, so expect to be weighed on the way in and again on the way out. After the booth, there are dirt and gravel drive lanes with areas for truck staging and open working faces where material is pushed and compacted. Visual cues include piles of cover soil, bulldozers, and a network of access roads; odors and dust can be noticeable on windy days. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have longer lines, with commercial trucks mixed in alongside smaller residential trailers.
