Valley Landfills Process & Recovery Center

Valley Landfills Process & Recovery Center is the large landfill on Camp Adair Road in Monmouth, used by locals and commercial haulers alike who need a final disposal site. It’s where trash gets buried and larger loads are accepted rather than a drop-off recycling center. Expect a working, industrial-feeling place rather than anything polished.

Drive up the entrance road and there’s usually a scale house or booth where trucks pause to be weighed - tipping fees are typically calculated by weight at facilities like this. Pull up to the unload area after the booth; the site is open, dusty, and dominated by compacting equipment and mellowing waste piles. Recycling and bottle-return rules in Oregon mean some materials are routed differently, so bring sorted loads if possible and plan for vehicle movement and trucks on the access roads.
