New Richmond City Landfill

New Richmond City Landfill is the town's municipal dump a few minutes off Main - used by residents and small haulers who need to get rid of bulk trash. It's the place where refuse ends up buried, so expect to see typical landfill activity rather than recycling center vibes. County and seasonal rules can affect how things run, especially in winter.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and prepare to stop; most city landfills have a scale so vehicles are weighed and charged by weight, with a minimum charge often applied to smaller residential loads. Pull up slowly and follow the arrows or attendants directing traffic; commercial trucks will usually be directed to a different tip area than pickup trucks and trailers. The site is mostly open rows of compacted dirt and waste cells with heavy equipment moving material; it looks industrial rather than tidy. Snow and mud can make the ramps slick in winter and operations may be tighter or different during cold months.
