Republic Services Stillwater Landfill is the big burial site for trash just off Yost Road in Stillwater, used by both homeowners and commercial haulers. It’s the kind of place where trucks and pickups mix-lots of heavy equipment and long dirt mounds around the tipping areas.
Drive up to an entrance booth and follow the flow of traffic toward the scale; landfills in Oklahoma typically charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to stop on the way out as well. Vehicles pull up, drop loads into a working face or cell, and then drive off the pad to a staging or compaction area; the site looks industrial-compacted soil, large berms, and heavy machinery moving material. During big cleanups or after storms like tornadoes, lines and backups are common, and commercial loads are accepted alongside residential ones.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads before leaving home-loose debris blows everywhere and may get rejected or cause delays.
- Avoid weekend and spring-cleanup peak times if possible; early mornings on weekdays usually move faster.
- Sort bulky items and recyclables beforehand so offloads go quicker; when dealing with storm debris, be prepared for special handling instructions at the gate.
