Waste Management - Covel Gardens Landfill

Covel Gardens Landfill is the big landfill out on Covel Road where residents and haulers bring trash to be buried. Locals use it when curbside pickup won’t take something or when contractors need a place for construction debris. It handles both small residential drop-offs and larger commercial loads, like most municipal landfills in the area.

Expect an entrance booth and a scale-most landfills charge by weight, so plan to stop for a second weigh-out on the way out. The property is large with gravel roads, dirt faces where material is buried, and heavy equipment moving around; trailers and dump trucks are common. Follow the traffic flow to the active tipping area and be prepared to back in and dump; the tipping spots can be a short drive past the scale. It gets dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain, so dress accordingly and watch for uneven ground.
