Waste Management - Riverbend Landfill

A large Waste Management landfill on Highway 18 that handles both residential and commercial loads. Locals drop off everything they can’t recycle or compost, and big trucks come through regularly. It’s the kind of place where people go when trash needs to be buried rather than processed elsewhere.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to stop so they can direct you onto the scale; weight-based tipping fees are standard at landfills, so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out. The site feels industrial - big piles, compactors, heavy equipment, and wide gravel drives to pull up to the working face. Expect to follow simple on-site directions for where to unload and where to exit; weekends and spring cleanup times tend to get busier and slower.
