A working landfill out on Poplar Neck Road that people and haulers use to bury municipal and commercial trash. Big trucks and bobtail pickups are common here, so expect a site built for volume rather than neighborhood drop-offs.
Drive up to an entrance booth and follow the access road; there’s a scale to stop on so loads are weighed. Tipping fees are set by weight or per-load at places like this, and commercial customers are handled alongside residential traffic. The property is mostly open cells, dirt roads and compacted cover where trucks back up to unload, with recycling or swap areas sometimes off to the side.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a clear load-loose trash shifts on steep banks, so tarps or tied-down loads make unloading quicker and safer.
- Allow extra time on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup; lines and scale waits are the norm when everyone shows up at once.
- Have vehicle and load paperwork easily accessible; stopping at the scale booth to weigh in and out is part of the process.
