Chemult Landfill
Chemult Landfill, 400 Chemult Dump Road, Chemult, 97731, Oregon
Chemult Landfill sits off Chemult Dump Road at 400 Chemult Dump Road and is the small, rural spot locals use to bury household trash and larger loads. It's the kind of place serving town residents and nearby haulers rather than a big transfer station. State agencies regulate these facilities, so fees and accepted materials can vary by location.
Drive up to an entrance booth and then over a scale - tipping fees at landfills are commonly charged by weight or by load, so stopping on the way out to settle fees is normal. The site looks more like a gravel lot with dirt piles and compacted cells than a recycling center with conveyors. There may be separate containers for recyclables or scrap metal, but availability and exact drop-off points vary.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or straps; loose debris can blow out on the road and might be refused at the drop-off.
- Separate obvious recyclables and metal before getting to the booth to speed unloading.
- Expect lines on weekends and during spring cleanup - the scale and entrance can create a bottleneck, so plan extra time.
