Finley Buttes Landfill

Finley Buttes Landfill is the big municipal dump out by Bombing Range Road that people and businesses from around Boardman bring full trucks to. The site handles final burial of refuse and is used by residential haulers and commercial loads alike. It’s the kind of place you go when garbage bags, construction debris, or a full trailer need to be taken off the property.

A drive-in scale is part of the process - vehicles are typically weighed so charges are based on weight rather than a flat item fee. There’s an entrance booth where staff direct traffic, then lanes that lead up to different tipping areas and the working face of the landfill; big compactors and piles of soil and cover material are visible. Recycling and bottle return options in Oregon mean some recyclables may be separated elsewhere rather than buried, so expect to see sorting or drop-off points nearby. Trucks, trailers, and occasional dust or mud after rain are common, and lines can form at peak times like weekend or spring cleanup days.
