Norwegian term or phrase: bossfylling
Dette avfallet havnet på de åpne bossfyllingene i byen.

Is this something like a 'central landfill site/facility'?

waste dump
Explanation:
Bossfylling er Bergensk og er det samme som søppelfylling, så du har helt rett i ordet "landfill". "Dump" kan også brukes, og det finnes andre engelske uttrykk for det samme.

...de åpne bossfyllingene i byen
...the open-air waste dumps in the city.
