King and Queen Landfill sits out on Iris Road in Little Plymouth and is where folks bring the big stuff that won’t fit in curbside bins. It’s a working landfill - large in scale and set up to bury municipal and construction-type trash. Landfills of this size typically charge tipping fees by weight and commonly handle commercial loads, though exact rules and rates vary by location.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to follow posted directions - there’s usually a drive onto a scale so weight-based fees get recorded. The site looks like a broad, open area with dirt roads and piled material rather than a neat recycling center. Expect to move slowly through the site; vehicles are directed to a dumping spot, then back over the scale on the way out since charges are often weight-based. Weekends and spring cleanups tend to be the busiest times, so lines can form.
