How do you review a landfill...lol. They weren't busy at all so I got in and out quickly. It was as clean and orderly as a landfill could be. Overall a great experience for a place full of trash. Lol

Make sure you have four wheel drive if you have a large drop off. Because the mud and steep road will require it! Prices are fair and there is an oil deposit regular recycling spot and trash spot. There’s not much to it but the bulk trash site is Wild West if you aren’t a big truck or if you haven’t been there before.

How do i get rid of medical sharps?

Mary Grove | Oct 12, 2021
Washington County Landfill (Forty West Landfill) | Oct 12, 2021

You can place them in a plastic container with a lid (like a peanut or coffee container), then put the lid back on and wrap duct tape around the lid to ensure the lid doesn't come off. If you have a trash permit you can then bring them to one of our facilities and dump as you do your normal household trash. If you have a company that picks up your trash via curbside, please contact them first to see if they will allow those in the trash. Thank you.

How do I dispose of a microwave? My trash company said the landfill won't accept them.

SL Johnson | Oct 12, 2021
Washington County Landfill (Forty West Landfill) | Oct 12, 2021

We do accept them but they aren't acceptable in your normal curbside pickup program. You can bring your microwave to the 40 West Landfill any day that we are open, between the hours of 7am and 2:30pm. You will need to go across our scales and pay for the item (s). There is a $10 minimum which allows up to 360 pounds of normal household trash so if you have some furniture or other items, you could bring them up at that time. The folks at the scale house will direct you from there for disposal. Thank you!

These items are considered "Rubble" and are not covered under any permit. You will have to go across the scales with this material when you come in to the 40 West Landfill. There is a $10 minimum that covers up to 260 pounds. If you're load weighs more than that, it will be prorated based on $75 per ton.

The trash permits only cover the trash from your trash cans inside your house. They do not cover large items such as electronics. There is a $10 minimum fee which covers you up to 360 pounds. You must be on the scales before 3PM and we accept cash or check only.
