(866) 909-4458Deer Track Park Landfill, operated by Waste Management on Waldmann Lane in Watertown, is where local trash gets buried. Folks from households with pickup loads to contractors with trailers bring material here to be disposed of in the landfill cells.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale-vehicles are weighed, so expect to be weighed in and then weighed out on the way back. Pull into the lane for the scale and follow the posted signs to the active tipping area; gravel driveways and large dirt mounds are what the site mostly looks like. Charges are based on weight at the scale, with typical minimums for small residential loads, and commercial trucks are commonly on site so the roads and tipping spots accommodate larger rigs. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so anticipate some waiting if it’s a busy day.
