Birchwood Landfill

Birchwood Landfill on Birchwood Pike is where larger loads get buried instead of being processed at a transfer or recycling site. Trucks, trailers and folks clearing out properties go there, with commercial haulers showing up alongside neighborhood pickups. It’s a straight landfill-big piles, heavy equipment, and open dirt roads.

There’s an entrance booth and a weigh scale, so expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out since tipping fees are charged by weight and follow a fee structure. Pull up to the booth first, then follow the access road to the active dumping area where loaders and compactors do the work. The site looks like earth berms and mounded cells rather than paved lanes, and heavy equipment is commonly moving material. Weekends and spring cleanup season tend to get backed up, so lines are possible.
