A working landfill on the edge of Powderly where household pickups and roll‑offs end up. Big trucks and trailers show up here regularly, so expect a larger, industrial setting rather than a small drop‑off lot.
Drive past an entrance booth and pull onto a scale-this place charges by weight, so stopping twice (in and out) is normal. The site is wide open with dirt and gravel roads, piles of compacted dirt and trash cells in the distance, and a few marked spots for tipping. Commercial trucks are common here; it’s set up to handle heavier loads and roll‑offs as well as residential drop‑offs. Lines form on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup, so there can be some waiting if several trucks are there at once.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have a plan for where to tip before backing up; the scale attendant will direct traffic but space around the active tipping face can be tight.
- Secure any loose material on trailers-wind scatter is noticeable on the drive into and out of the site.
- Bring paperwork for commercial loads and allow extra time for weighing in and out during busy weekends.
