(866) 909-4458Waste Management - Orchard Ridge Security Landfill is the large landfill off Boundary Road in Menomonee Falls used by homeowners with truckloads and by commercial haulers. Big trucks come and go here, and it’s the kind of site where trash gets buried in large cells over a wide footprint. Expect an industrial, working-site vibe rather than anything polished.
The site is sizable with long drive lanes, visible capped mounds and active working areas in the distance. There’s an entrance booth and a scale near the front - tipping fees are generally weight-based, so plan to be weighed. After the booth the flow moves toward an unloading area where trucks and pickups drop their loads; heavy vehicle traffic and gravel or paved surfaces are common. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanups, so there can be a wait.
