Alliance Landfill on South Keyser Ave. in Taylor is the local place where trash gets buried - used by neighborhood residents, municipal trucks and commercial haulers alike. It’s a fairly large, industrial-looking site that handles full-scale landfill operations for the area.
Pull up to an entrance booth and be prepared to drive across a scale; tipping fees are calculated by weight (many landfills also have flat or minimum charges for small residential loads). The site is big: expect heavy equipment, dirt piles and compacted cells with a working 'face' where trucks tip. Commercial loads are accepted here, so there are usually box trucks and roll-offs mixed in with pickup trucks; traffic can slow during seasonal cleanups.

Before You Go
- Secure loose items and tarps before coming - loose debris is a safety hazard and slows unloading.
- Plan for waits on weekends and during spring cleanup; arriving early on a weekday usually moves faster.
- Wear sturdy shoes and expect dust and mud on the ground; watch for heavy equipment while navigating the tipping area.
