Cheyne Road Landfill

Cheyne Road Landfill is the spot outside Zillah where household and commercial trash ends up being buried. People from town and haul companies bring loads here; it looks and feels like a working, no-frills site rather than a tidy recycling center. Expect a place with dirt roads, big equipment moving around, and piled cover soil.

Drive in past an entrance booth and there’s usually a truck scale somewhere on the route - landfills commonly charge tipping fees by weight, so plan on being weighed and billed by tonnage rather than by load count. Pull up to the unloading area following signs or cones; larger or commercial loads generally go to the active cell while smaller residential drops usually have a closer spot. The site is industrial: gravel yards, loaders, and rows of compacted material or daily cover. Weekends and spring cleanup season are when lines form, so expect some wait during busy times.
