Negus Landfill in Redmond is the city landfill where household trash and business loads end up being buried. Locals and commercial haulers both use it, and in Oregon many people sort their recycling and pull out deposit bottles before coming in.
The site is big - expect to see large dirt cells and tall mounds of compacted material from a distance. There’s an entrance booth and a truck scale, so vehicles typically stop to be weighed and then stop again on the way out for a final weight. Loads are directed where to dump, and commercial trucks are accepted alongside residential vehicles. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to have longer lines and slower movement through the gates.

Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads so nothing blows out while driving or during tipping; loose trash can make the whole visit take longer.
- Separate recyclables and bottle returns at home first - Oregon’s deposit system and local recycling rules mean removing those items cuts down on sorting time at the site.
- Try for a weekday visit if possible; mornings can still be busy but usually move faster than weekend afternoons.
