Marinette/Oconto County Landfill

Marinette/Oconto County Landfill on Shaffer Road in Crivitz is the county landfill locals use for household trash and heavier loads from construction or farm work. It's a fairly large, working site with visible berms and open dumping areas. County landfills like this typically accept commercial loads and assess tipping fees by weight rather than per item.

Pull up to an entrance booth and a scale area where vehicles are usually weighed; expect to stop there and again on the way out so fees reflect net weight. The surface is mostly gravel and dirt with big piles and spreading cells, so dust in dry weather and mud after rain are normal. Trucks and loaders move around, so drive slowly, watch for backing vehicles, and be prepared for occasional waits-weekends and spring cleanup tend to be the busiest. Dumping happens at active cells or ramps, so follow on-site directions and keep clear of operating equipment.
