Newcastle Landfill on North Portland Avenue is where residents and local haulers bring material that needs to be buried rather than recycled. It’s a working landfill with big compacted cells and plenty of truck traffic, used by people with pickups or trailers and by commercial drivers.
Drive in to the scale/entrance area at 1741 North Portland Avenue-loads are weighed and tipping fees are assessed by weight, so expect to stop at the scale and then again when you leave. After weighing, vehicles are routed out to the active tipping area; there are dirt ramps, open piles, and heavy equipment moving material around. The site is spread out, so allow a few extra minutes to get from the scale to where you actually tip and back. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, with lines forming at the scale.
