Watertown Regional Landfill is where the area's trash gets buried - a regional facility that sees everything from small household loads to larger haulers. Locals use it for big clean-ups and contractors bring commercial loads too, so the traffic and truck mix can vary.
Drive in to a staffed entrance/scale area and be prepared to stop on the way out as tipping fees are charged by weight. The site is big - open dirt roads, stockpiles, and heavy machinery moving around - so take it slow. Pull up to the scale, check in at the booth, then head to the unloading area indicated by signs or traffic flow and return to the scale for a final weigh-out. Lines build up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so plan extra time if it’s a busy day.
