Neighbors bring everything from pickup-bed loads to trucked hauls; landfills like this typically accept commercial loads and charge tipping fees by weight.
There’s usually a booth or office out front and a big scale, so vehicles get weighed and fees are calculated by weight. The property is expansive with dirt roads, mounded cells and constant truck traffic - expect dust and the smell that comes with a working landfill. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can back up into a line; weekday mornings are noticeably quieter. Drop boxes or recycling containers are often nearby, but layouts vary so follow the on-site signage when you pull in.
