Tunnel Hill Reclamation Landfill

Tunnel Hill Reclamation Landfill sits off Tunnel Hill Road just outside New Lexington and is the local spot where trash and larger loads get buried. People from around the area - from pickup loads to commercial hauls - bring material here, and state rules determine fees and what can be accepted. It's a working, no-frills site with heavy equipment and large dirt mounds.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale; most landfills charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to be weighed. Drive up to the booth, get routed to the active dumping area, then pull up to the face where machines move and compact material. The roads on site are gravel and can be dusty in dry weather or muddy after rain. Give space to loaders and dozers and have the load ready to dump when directed.
