Wayne Township Landfill

Wayne Township Landfill is the big local landfill just off Landfill Lane in McElhattan, used by both residents and commercial haulers. It’s the kind of place where trash actually gets buried rather than processed further. Most people bring household trash, construction debris, or commercial loads here when smaller transfer stations aren’t an option.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop for a scale - tipping fees are usually weight-based at sites like this, so there’s a weigh-in on the way in or out. The site is large with open cells and compacted piles; lanes lead up to drop points and heavy equipment moves around, so take it slow. Recycling or special material bins are often off to one side near the entrance area, and commercial trucks will pull into wider lanes. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have the longest lines, so expect some waiting if it’s busy.
