Republic Services Kestrel Hawk Landfill

Republic Services Kestrel Hawk Landfill on Oakes Rd is the large county-area landfill people in Racine drive to with household junk, contractors’ loads, and commercial hauls. Trucks and pickups alike use it; expect it to look like a working landfill rather than a neat recycling center. It’s the place where material is brought in, weighed, and buried on site.

There’s a scalehouse/entry booth where vehicles stop to be weighed - tipping fees are charged by weight, and commercial loads are accepted. Gravel drives and wide lanes lead up to active cells and working faces, so watch for heavy equipment and trucks moving around. Plan to pull up to the booth first, then follow staff directions or signage to a dumping area and back across the scale on the way out. Winter can change how things run, so operations and traffic flow may look different when it’s snowy or icy.
