Emerald Park Landfill LLC in Muskego is the local landfill on S 124th Street used by homeowners, contractors and haulers bringing material to be buried. It’s a large, working landfill - not a drop-off recycling center - so expect truck and trailer traffic and heavy equipment moving dirt and compacted loads.
Drive up to a scale booth and be prepared to be weighed; most landfills charge by weight and use a tipping fee structure that varies with load type and weight. After the initial weigh-in, follow the gravel drives out to the active tipping area to unload, then return to the scale for the outbound weigh. The site is big and rough: dirt and gravel roads, mounded cells, and bulldozers or compactors working the piles. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so wait times can be significant.
