Newcastle City Landfill is the town's main place for burying trash, out on Old Hwy 85 just north of town. Locals and larger haulers from around the county show up here; commercial trucks are a common sight alongside pickup loads.

There are large dirt cells and piles of cover soil spread across a wide, open site, with heavy equipment moving loads around. Pull up to the active tipping area when directed, back into the dump zone, and then follow the traffic flow back toward the scale to be weighed out.

Before You Go
- Have loads secured and ready to dump-loose trash can slow the whole process and attract extra attention from equipment operators.
- Plan for extra time on weekends and during spring cleanup; lines and wait times can build up quickly.
- Make sure the truck can safely back into a dumping spot and that any loose items are contained so unloading is quick and safe.
