Waste Management - Cuyahoga Regional Landfill

A big regional landfill just off Cochran Road in Solon, used by both residents and haulers hauling larger commercial loads. It’s the kind of place trucks and pickup loads line up for - not a drop-off center for a few bags. Expect to see heavy equipment moving dirt and compacted trash across wide cells.

Drive up to a gated entrance with an attendant booth and you’ll likely be directed to a scale; weight-based tipping is how charges are calculated, so trucks stop twice. The driveway and working areas are wide and gravelly, with big mounds of cover soil and rows where trucks queue. Smaller vehicles usually pull up behind the booth, while commercial trucks are funneled toward the active cell; there’s heavy machinery loading and spreading material, so stay in marked lanes and watch for backing equipment.
