It’s the kind of place contractors, landscapers and people cleaning out a house use when hauling anything that’s destined to be buried. Expect a working, no-frills site rather than a tidy recycling center.
There’s a scale at the entrance so vehicles slow down to check in and then stop again on the way out for weighing; tipping fees are charged by weight with a residential minimum rather than flat free drop-offs. Pull up to the small booth or scale area first to be logged, then follow the rough gravel drives to the active pit and dumping areas. The site is large and dusty, with heavy equipment and compacted berms of cover dirt; bring a vehicle that can handle a bumpy, uneven surface.
