Located off Constantine Way, it handles the final disposal of loads that can't be recycled or composted. Locals bring everything from pickup-truck loads to contractor trucks here when other options are exhausted.
Pull in and drive up to a weigh station - landfills this size use a scale and charge tipping fees based on weight, so expect to stop both coming in and again when you leave. There's an entrance booth where staff check loads and direct traffic; vehicles are routed toward the active cells and tipping areas. The site is mostly gravel and compacted dirt, with large graded faces of compacted trash and cover material visible across the property. Expect trucks and heavy equipment moving around; take it slow and follow the flow of traffic.
