Needed to visit the landfill for the first time on Tues around 1:30pm to dump the broken Jeep Hurricane ride on toy, a printer, and a 55" smart TV (they don't make lasting things anymore). I waited patiently in line (I think I was #5 inline) to go through the scale. The lady behind the window told me to follow the orange line, so I did. It was a long drive (maybe a quarter mile) and I passed electric recycle barn on the left side. I passed stone sign on the right painted with green, blue, orange, so I just follow along until I got to the orange entrance fork. Wow, it turned into uneven dirt road with lots of debris on the road. I tried to follow the most traveled tire tracks and stayed on the right side. Finally, I saw 2 trucks backing to the right side and people were busy unloading their junk. I did the same and dumped the ride on toy car in the orange line. I came out and stopped by the green barn (electric recycle center) and dropped the TV, laptop and printer.

This was our first visit to the landfill. Frankly, the setup and system are confusing. We had a myriad of items we brought for disposal. Due to the types of items, it meant going to four 'color' areas. The attendant verbally provided the areas to stop at but it was unclear. As most of the areas had long lines and we were unsure which items to drop in the appropriate 'color' points, we followed a UHaul truck whose driver seemed equally confused. Both of us dump both our large loads in the household waste area. Probably not correct but, when guidance is scant, the outcome will be unpredictable. An odd thing was one of the workers was able to use some of the massive amount of cardboard we chucked into household waste to clear clogs in his disposal truck. Guess we provided a service to the landfill. You're welcome! Recommendation providing a handout to landfill customers as to whar each color designates. Dropping this info on the website would be ideal as well. As an aside, we went to the Augusta Road facility a few weeks ago and it was clearly marked...even if most of its bins were full.

Had a pretty good experience. I wish the dumpsters were more inline so I could go down one lane to everything I needed to dump bc I'm not very good at backing a trailer so I have to keep going around but I'm sure it's set up the way it is for good reason. It's a lot better than it was when I came here with my dad when I was a kid. I appreciate the road paved and clean of foreign debris. I'm really not sure if the hours bc what is posted online is different than at the gate. I'm thinking the online hours are the actual landfill hours so I posted a photo of the dump hours at the gate. Have a great day! *****Update- I had to make another trip. All I took off on that trip was a couch and a chair made of old wood that was already broken down to pieces. I wasn't sure where to take it and the guy at the gate dump said his container was full and asked me to take it to the landfill. He was really nice so I agreed but I didn't know the landfill part was past my ankles deep of soft dirt and full of sharp debris. I was concerned about my tires. It was so hard to back the trailer in with the tractor roaming around kicking up major dirt dust. It was hard to breathe. Workers just kept walking out in front of me and I kept having to stop and my trailer kept getting stuck. Other people coming in with bigger trailers kept pulling out in front of me and blocking me from being able to maneuver the trailer. It was an absolute nightmare! I don't understand why the container was full and it's right there at the landfill. Regular vehicles should NOT be going into the landfill! I left 2 stars bc the guy was nice and the station lady allowed me through using my State SLED ID bc I forgot my drivers license. If this is how they're supposed to run the landfill then they need to make sure they're dumping the containers at the dump and only allow commercial vehicles in the dirt parts of the landfill. I am extremely disappointed.
