Kestrel Hawk Landfill

Kestrel Hawk Landfill is the landfill at 1989 Oakes Road in Racine. Locals and larger haulers bring loads here for final disposal, and the site handles both small residential drop-offs and commercial-sized deliveries. Expect an active, industrial setting rather than a tidy transfer station.

A big, working site with heavy equipment and large mounds of compacted material; it looks more like a construction zone than a neighborhood dump. There’s a scale at the entrance so vehicles are weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight, which means a stop on the way in and again on the way out is typical. Drivers usually pull up to an entry booth or gate and then follow signs or directions to the active tipping area along gravel roads-watch for dump trucks and loaders. The place can be dusty and noisy, so keep loads secured and give large equipment plenty of room.
