Expect to see heavy equipment and big, open dirt cells rather than a neat row of bins. People bring everything that needs burying, from pickup loads to bigger hauls.
Pull in and you’ll pass a gate/booth and a scale; loads are weighed so there’s usually a stop on the way in and again on the way out. The drive goes out to a wide tipping area with trucks and loaders working the face, and the surface is mostly dirt and compacted fill. Lines can form, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there can be some waiting. Signs and simple traffic flow point where to dump and where to go back to the scale.
