American Environmental Landfill on N. 177th W. Avenue is the landfill in Sand Springs where residents and contractors haul household junk and construction debris. Trucks and pickups both show up here; the place looks industrial, with heavy equipment shaping dirt and compacted piles. It’s the sort of site used for bulky cleanouts and contractor loads.
There’s a gate booth and a scale-tipping fees are generally tied to weight, so loads are weighed before charges are assessed. Pull up to the booth and then follow the traffic pattern; large dumping cells and heavy machinery operate across the site, so give operators room. The ground gets dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain, with big piles rather than tidy bins. Expect busier periods on weekends and during spring-cleanup times when lines can back up.
