Pioneer Hauling & Landfill on Weller Lane is the North Augusta landfill where larger loads get buried rather than picked up at the curb. People drop off everything from home cleanouts to contractor loads, so expect a practical, no-frills site rather than anything pretty.
Expect a scale house where vehicles are weighed and tipping fees are assessed by weight, as is common at landfills. There's typically a small entrance booth to stop at and then a lane to pull up for the weigh-in and drop-off. The working area is mostly dirt mounds and heavy equipment, so move slowly and heed any on-site directions. Many landfills accept commercial loads, though fees and accepted materials vary by location and by state.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose items - wind will spread debris and unstrapped loads slow the whole process.
- Separate recyclables and scrap metal before getting there so unloading is quicker and less sorting is needed on-site.
- Try for a weekday morning if possible; weekends and spring-cleanup season commonly have backups.
