Adams County Resource Recovery Landfill

Adams County Resource Recovery Landfill on State Road 21 in Friendship, WI is where households, contractors, and local businesses bring bulky, non-recyclable material to be buried. Like most landfills it operates on a tipping-fee model-typically charged by weight-and generally accepts both residential and commercial loads, though fees and accepted items vary by location. It’s a large, working site with heavy truck traffic and visible capped cells on the skyline.

There’s usually a scale or weigh station near the entrance, so expect to stop for weighing on the way in and again on the way out. Pull up to the entrance/scale area and follow the flow of trucks to the active tipping face where larger vehicles unload and compactors work. The surface is mostly gravel and dirt ramps, with some dust in dry weather and mud when it’s wet. Weekends and spring clean-up times commonly have lines, especially for trailers and commercial dumpsters.
