Start looking around for a truck weigh scale -- you might see signs for a "Cat Scale".
Around me, garbage is taken to a "transfer station" - vehicles are weighed before and after getting rid or (or dumping) garbage. The guys at the transfer station will weigh vehicles and trailers during slow times, just stop in and ask.
Check big truck stops, sometimes they have a scale.
Garden / landscaping supply places sometimes have a scale to weigh dump trucks moving dirt and stone.
Ask at your local repair garage, they may know where a scale is. Do you have any friends who drive big trucks? (big dump trucks, tractor trailers, etc) I bet they know where a scale is. You might check you state's motor vehicle department website, scale sites might be listed.
When you start asking and looking, I think you might be surprised that there are more scales around you than you think.
Thanks for the suggestions! I can ask my brother, he drives a tow truck for a living and probably has a scale at his job or would know where the nearest one is to us.
