Dumps & landfills in Michigan

Michigan has few public county dumps. Most landfills are private (WM, Republic, GFL, Granger) and many townships and villages run small transfer stations that need a resident permit, sticker or ticket. Check residency rules and hours before you load up. Counties such as Muskegon, Midland, Delta and Marquette run public sites with posted fees.

What are you getting rid of?

State rules to know

Tires

It is illegal to dispose of whole motor vehicle tires in Michigan landfills. Many transfer stations take them for a fee or send you to a tire collection site. Official rule ↗

Yard waste

Yard clippings are banned from Michigan landfills, so sites that take them route them to compost or brush areas, often separate from trash. Official rule ↗

Batteries, oil and containers

Lead-acid batteries, used oil and beverage containers are prohibited from Michigan landfills and must be recycled separately. Official rule ↗

Household hazardous waste is mostly handled through county programs, often free for residents but only on set days or by appointment (for example Muskegon County, Grand Traverse County and SOCRRA in Oakland County). Landfills and most transfer stations do not take it.
