    Where our data comes from

    The base list comes from two U.S. EPA datasets (the Disaster Debris Recovery Tool and the Landfill Methane Outreach Program) and OpenStreetMap. Closed landfills are removed. For the most populated counties we then check each public site on the county's or operator's own website and note hours, fees, residency rules and what they refuse, with the date we checked (328 sites so far).

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I find the nearest dump?

    Enter your ZIP code or city above, or use your location. We show the closest landfills, transfer stations and drop-off centers with their distance, and you can filter by what you want to get rid of.

    What is the difference between a landfill and a transfer station?

    A landfill is where waste is buried for good. A transfer station is a collection point where trash is sorted and loaded onto big trucks that take it to a landfill. For a car or pickup load, both usually work; transfer stations are often closer.

    How much does it cost to go to the dump?

    Most dumps charge by weight (per ton) or by load size, usually with a minimum fee. Some counties let residents drop off for free. Where the operator publishes rates, we show them on the facility page with the date we checked.

    Can anyone use a county dump?

    Many public sites are for residents only and ask for an ID or utility bill. Private landfills generally take paying customers from anywhere. Each facility page says what we know.

    Where does paint or motor oil go?

    Not to the dump. Paint, chemicals, motor oil and batteries go to a household hazardous waste (HHW) drop-off or a collection day.
