A working landfill on the south side of Lawton where both household and larger loads end up. Mostly used by locals hauling trash, contractors finishing jobs, and anyone clearing out a property. It’s the kind of place where trucks, trailers and pickups are the norm.
A commercial-scale site with a drive-up entrance and a weigh scale for measuring loads; tipping fees are charged by weight at most landfills of this type. There’s an entrance booth and traffic pattern to follow, so pull up to the scale and be prepared to stop twice if they weigh in and weigh out. The property is mostly open dirt and compacted cells with heavy equipment working-expect dust and a working-vehicle feel rather than anything neat or landscaped. After big storms or tornado cleanup, lines and temporary lanes are common, so the site can get busy fast.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads tightly-tarps and tie-downs cut down on fines and loose debris on the way in.
- Have paperwork for commercial loads or contractor accounts ready if hauling a big job; big trucks often use a different lane or direction.
- Avoid weekends and first thing after storms if possible; arrival earlier in the day usually means shorter waits and less dust.
