Lytle Blvd Landfill in Nyssa is the spot where household and larger commercial loads get buried rather than recycled. Locals - everyone from homeowners doing a big cleanout to contractors with a truckload of jobsite material - use it when trash needs a final resting place. It’s a working landfill, so expect a no-frills, industrial setup.
There’s an entrance booth and a large scale; landfills typically charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to be weighed as part of the process. Pull into the scale lane, then drive on to the active dumping area where other trucks and trailers are coming and going; the site looks like bare earth, berms, and piles of compacted material. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so waits are common and the place can get dusty and muddy depending on weather.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose loads-wind and passing traffic can fling debris off trailers while waiting in line.
- Sort big items ahead of time (metal, clean wood, dirt) to speed unloading and avoid extra running around on site.
- Bring a vehicle that can handle loose gravel and a short uphill/back-in maneuver; wear sturdy shoes since surfaces are often uneven or dusty.
