Crittenden County Sanitary Landfill
Crittenden County Sanitary Landfill, 1299 Kuhn Road, West Memphis, 72301, Arkansas
Crittenden County Sanitary Landfill on Kuhn Road in West Memphis is the county site where trash gets buried. Residents and commercial haulers bring loads here when items can't be recycled or composted.
There’s a scale and an entrance area where vehicles line up - tipping fees are typically charged by weight or load type, so expect to stop for weighing. The site is large, with open working faces, compacted dirt roads and piles of cover soil; it can be dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain. Commercial trucks and trailers are common, so give big rigs space to turn. Weekends and spring cleanup times often mean backups and slower service.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home; loose debris blows off and makes unloading slower.
- Keep the address handy (1299 Kuhn Road, West Memphis) and sort bulky or recyclable items beforehand to save time at the gate.
- Wear sturdy shoes and be ready for gravel and mud; when it's your turn, pull forward so larger vehicles and heavy equipment can move around you.
