Had some pieces of broken concrete 2 tarps full of leaves cardboard boxes plastic 5gal buckets etc No problems finding the place. Friendly guy at scale. Be cautious when you are backing up to spot where dump. Ground is soft & nails screws are everywhere. Overall good experience. Will recommend them to anyone interested in a dump site.

A big shoutout to Paul & David! They exemplify above and beyond fantastic customer service. I locked myself out of my truck at the landfill today. They did everything they could to help me and assisted with calling a locksmith. They let me hang out at the office and even gave me water. They did everything they could to make my wait as comfortable as possible. This could have been a really horrible experience but they didn't let that happen. Thank you!

Change your hours on this. You close earlier than 3:30 on Saturday. Drove up at 3 o’clock sharp and somebody was closing the gate. Lame for all the people that drive out there.
