Drive in and slow down for an entrance booth and a scale - landfills typically weigh vehicles and assess tipping fees by weight or volume, so expect at least one stop. Pull-up areas for dumping are usually obvious: wide paved lanes with heavy equipment and piles of cover soil off to one side. The site looks industrial - compacted mounds, heavy trucks, and loaders moving material - and traffic can back up when people are cleaning out garages or after storms. Plan on walking a short distance from where you park to the dumping area and give trucks room to maneuver.
