Outagamie County Landfill on Holland Road in Appleton is the county dump for household and commercial loads that end up being buried. Folks bring everything from pickup-truck loads to roll-offs, and it feels like a working, heavy-equipment site rather than a tidy drop-off center.
Drive in and stop at a scale booth near the entrance - vehicles are usually weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight or by vehicle type, so expect to stop again on the way out. After that, follow the lanes to the active tipping area where bulldozers and compactors are moving material and large berms of cover dirt are visible. The site is big, with gravel roads and obvious areas to pull up and back onto a tipping slab. Recycling or special drop-off areas are typically separated from the main burial area.
