Waste Management - Middle Peninsula Landfill

Small-town landfill out on Waste Management Way that handles household and larger commercial loads for the Middle Peninsula. Trucks and trailers are common here, and people from around Saluda and nearby counties drop off everything that needs burying. It’s the final stop for non-recyclable material; don’t expect sorting or drop-off centers like at a recycling facility.

Drive up to an entrance booth and pull onto a scale-they charge by weight, so expect to stop for a second weighing when you leave. The site is large with dirt roads and working equipment; big roll-off trucks and tractors are normal sights. Pull into the unloading area, tip the load where directed, and then loop back to the exit scale. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, and the surface can be dusty or muddy depending on recent weather.
