Orange County Landfill on Porter Road is the local place people use when trash needs to be buried rather than recycled. Residents, landscapers, and commercial haulers all bring loads here, so expect a mix of cars and big trucks on site.
There’s a weigh station and entrance booth near the road where vehicles are weighed; tipping fees are typically charged by weight, so plan on being weighed more than once. Pull up to the booth and follow the on-site traffic flow to the active tipping area, unload, then return to the scale for the final weight. The property has the look of a working disposal site with earth cells and heavy equipment, and maneuvering a trailer or a full pickup bed is common. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanups, so waits at the booth are not unusual.
