Baker Sanitary Landfill

Baker Sanitary Landfill on W. Sutton Creek Road is where homeowners with big cleanups and commercial haulers bring trash that needs to be buried. Expect a working, large-scale site with heavy equipment, a scale/entry booth, and gravel roads rather than a neat transfer station.

Drive up to an entry booth and plan on crossing a scale - tipping fees at landfills are commonly charged by weight, so there’s usually a weigh-in and a weigh-out. After the booth, traffic is directed to active dumping faces or roll-off areas, and the ground is rough gravel with some steep ramps. The site looks industrial: compacted dirt mounds, tracked equipment, and fenced perimeters; if recycling bins are available they tend to sit near the entrance. Weekends and spring cleanup season often mean longer lines, especially with pickups and trailers in tow.
