New Boston Landfill is the county landfill out on Hwy 82 that local homeowners and haulers use when things won’t fit in the curbside bin. It’s a working landfill - where trash gets buried - and sees everything from pickup-truck loads to commercial roll-offs.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to pull onto a scale; tipping fees at landfills are commonly charged by weight, so the scale matters. Big open cells and compacted dirt roads are the norm, with trucks and tractors moving material around; plan for dust and the usual landfill smells. Commercial loads are commonly accepted at sites of this type, and larger vehicles will maneuver to a dumping area before heading back over the scale to finish out.

Before You Go
- Cover and secure loads before leaving home - loose items can blow out and make the trip longer.
- Bring a tarp or straps in case wind or rain shifts the load while driving in; cleanup adds time once on site.
- Avoid peak weekend cleanup times if possible; early weekday mornings are usually less congested for hauling.
