Glacier Ridge Landfill LLC
Glacier Ridge Landfill LLC, N7296 County Road V, Horicon, 53032, Winsconsin
Glacier Ridge Landfill LLC sits out on County Road V just outside Horicon and is where household and commercial loads end up when there’s no other option. Locals and haulers both use it for final disposal - it’s literally where trash gets buried. The place feels big enough that a quick run-in can take longer than expected if there’s a line.
A fairly large site with dirt roads and visible landfill cells rising up like a ridge; plan to drive around a bit once inside. There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale, since tipping fees at landfills are commonly charged by weight. Pull up to the booth area and follow the signs to the unloading pad or ridge top where trucks tip. Weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to back up traffic, and commercial trucks are a common sight.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads - branches and loose debris spread in wind and slow unloading.
- Consolidate loads so the trip is worth it; most landfills charge by weight and small runs can add up.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible - weekdays generally move faster for commercial hauls.
