Sheridan City Landfill sits off E Ridge Road and is where most of Sheridan's bulky trash ends up. Contractors, landscapers and homeowners use it when a truck or trailer is full. It's more of a working dirt site than a tidy drop-off center.
Drive in past an entrance booth and go over a scale - tipping fees are charged by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. Open pits, tall dirt mounds and rows of disposal piles are what the place looks like; there’s room for trailers and commercial trucks. It handles both residential and commercial loads, and dumping is done on the ground into separated piles, so grouping similar items ahead of time speeds unloading. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so busy times are noisy and slow.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a strong tarp and straps to cover loads - wind or bumps can spill things on the drive in or out.
- Aim for midweek or early morning to avoid the weekend backlog, especially during spring cleanup season.
- Wear sturdy boots and gloves; the ground is uneven and dusty, and having large items grouped together makes unloading quicker.
