Volunteer Regional Landfill on Roberta Lane is the place locals use when curbside pickup won’t cut it - think big cleanouts, construction debris, and commercial hauls. It’s a landfill in the literal sense: large-scale operation where trash is buried rather than processed. Folks from Oneida and nearby areas bring loads here when they need somewhere to unload heavy or bulky stuff.
There’s usually a gate booth and a scale near the entrance, so plan to stop to be weighed before and after dumping; tipping fees at landfills are typically charged by weight, with commercial loads often billed at higher rates. The site itself is open and gravelly, with heavy equipment moving around and trucks pulling up to a tipping area or cell. Traffic can back up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so leave extra time if hauling a full trailer. Have the load staged and ready to dump to keep from holding up the lane.
