GFL Mallard Ridge Landfill is the big landfill off WI‑11 near Delavan that locals and haulers use when trash needs burying rather than recycling. Homeowners, landscapers and commercial trucks all end up here at different times. It’s a working, large-scale site-not a tidy drop-off center.
Expect to cross a weigh scale and be charged by weight, so you’ll usually stop again on the way out. There’s typically a small office or booth by the entrance where check-in and directions happen; follow the traffic flow and any posted signs. The property is expansive with gravel roads, heavy trucks, and visible berms or piles of cover material. Surfaces can be dusty or uneven, and maneuvering a trailer or a loaded pickup takes a bit of care.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads staged and separated before reaching the front so unloading goes faster-loose debris, big items and bulky brush are easiest handled when sorted.
- Secure tarps and loose items; windy days can blow debris and make a mess for everyone.
- Allow extra time on weekends and during spring cleanup-the line of trucks can get long and hopper space gets busy.
