It’s the final stop where garbage gets buried, and both household folks and commercial trucks come through. The place looks like a working site - heavy equipment, big piles, and the usual traffic of trailers and roll-offs.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and a scale; trucks go over the scale and tipping fees are charged by weight, so plan on stopping twice for entry and exit. There’s a clear traffic flow with people pointing drivers toward the unloading area; watch for spotters and heavy machinery. The site is large and mostly bare earth and compacted cells, so dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain. Recycling or drop-off bins tend to sit to the side near the entrance, while active disposal areas are deeper in.
