(715) 469-3356Republic Services Lake Area Landfill is the landfill out on W5987 County Highway D in Sarona - the place garbage gets buried rather than transferred. Neighbors and commercial haulers both use it for final disposal. It’s not a recycling drop-off; it’s the actual landfill site for the region.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared for a weigh scale as part of the visit; tipping fees at landfills are usually charged by weight, so expect to stop on the scale on the way in or out. The site is large with heavy equipment, compacted cells and long drive lanes, so follow any traffic flow and watch for big trucks. After checking in you’ll be directed to a drop area or cell to unload and then return to the scale unless instructed otherwise.
