Sheridan Existing Landfill

Sheridan Existing Landfill on East Ridge Road is the county landfill that handles Sheridan's municipal trash and commercial hauls. Locals use it for household cleanouts and contractors bring bigger loads, so expect a mix of pickups and dump trucks. It's basically the place trash gets buried rather than recycled.

Drive in to an entrance area with a booth and a scale; tipping fees apply and are usually charged either by weight or per load, and the site accepts commercial loads. Pull up to the booth/scale and then proceed to the active dumping area - depending on fee structure, vehicles may need to stop more than once. The site is large with dirt roads, open tipping faces and compacted mounds; it gets dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain. Weekends and spring-cleanup times often have lines, so plan extra time for waiting and unloading.
