Pleasant Oaks Landfill

Pleasant Oaks Landfill is the municipal landfill just outside Mount Pleasant where residential and larger loads end up for burial. Neighbors, landscapers and small haulers drop off here rather than at the small transfer stations closer to town. It’s a working landfill-large, open, and set up for regular truck traffic rather than a tidy drop-off center.

A drive past a weigh scale and a small entrance booth is typical for places like this, with vehicles queued during busy weekend or spring-cleanup times. Pull up to the booth, get directed to the active cell or tipping area, then back up and unload where staff indicate. The site is mostly gravel and compacted dirt with heavy equipment moving around, and loads are buried in the active landfill area afterward. Tipping fees at landfills of this scale are usually charged by weight, and commercial-sized loads are commonly handled alongside residential ones.
