A working landfill on the east side of Weimar where local residents and haulers bring trash to be buried. Small-town scale compared with big-city dumps, but still set up with the usual pit, access road and weigh scale. Used by a mix of household drop-offs and larger trucks from around the county; fee structure is weight-based at most landfills of this type.
Drive past a simple entrance booth and a scale-most users stop to get weighed and then stop again when leaving. The site looks rough: dirt roads, piles of cover dirt, and heavy equipment operating on the mounds. Pull up to the working face as directed and be ready to wait a bit if trucks are ahead; traffic can back up at busy times. There are usually separate areas for recyclables or bulky items at many small landfills, but exact acceptance rules vary by site.

Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or straps so nothing blows out on the drive; loose debris is a hassle for both the driver and the crew.
- Expect to stop twice at the scale-plan routes and timing accordingly, especially if hauling a commercial load where weight matters.
- Bring a shovel and gloves if dropping off yard waste or bulky items; it makes unloading quicker and keeps the truck cleaner.
