BFI Oper North Landfill is the big municipal landfill out on Old Millington Road in Millington, used by residents, landscapers and lots of commercial trucks. It’s the place people go when a pickup or trailer is full and needs to be buried rather than recycled.
Drive in and there’s a scale/scale house near the entrance - landfills like this charge by weight, so plan to stop again on the way out. A small booth handles checking in, then trucks line up to back to the tipping area; heavy equipment and large dirt mounds are visible across the site. It’s a large, working yard with gravel roads and compacted cells, and busy times can slow things down while loads are weighed and deposited.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Keep loads covered and tied down so debris doesn’t blow out during the drive - it makes the whole process quicker and keeps the truck cleaner.
- If hauling commercially, have any paperwork or manifests handy; the weigh-in/weigh-out routine moves faster when drivers can show weight tickets or load documents quickly.
- Avoid peak times like weekends and spring cleanups if possible - those are when lines and wait times get noticeably longer.
