Waste Management - Ridgeview Security Landfill

A working landfill run by Waste Management near Whitelaw that handles household and commercial trash. Locals and haulers both use this site when garbage needs to be buried rather than recycled or hauled elsewhere. It’s the kind of place where trucks and compactors dominate the view.

Expect a fenced entrance with an attendant booth and a scale-loads are generally charged by weight, so vehicles stop to be weighed. Pull up slowly to the booth and follow attendants or posted directions to the tipping face; large trucks and loaders will be moving material on the cell. The site looks industrial: piles of cover soil, compacted cells, and heavy equipment operating on dirt ramps, with separate areas for recycling or roll-off trucks usually marked nearby. Winter can change how things work here, so slower traffic and altered procedures are common during snowy months.
