Sand Valley Landfill

Sand Valley Landfill in Collinsville is the local spot where household trash and larger truck loads end up for burial. Residents and contractors hauling bulky stuff or construction debris are the kinds of people who use a place like this.

Expect an entrance with a weigh scale and a small office or booth-tipping fees at landfills are typically charged by weight, so you’ll be weighed. Pull up slowly, check in at the booth, then follow the gravel drive toward the active dumping area where trucks and pickups unload. The site looks like big dirt mounds, compacted cover, and heavy equipment moving around; it’s dusty and noisy at times. Lines can form on weekends or during spring cleanup, so allow extra time for weighing and getting in and out.
