Drew County Landfill
163 Scott Ln, Monticello, AR 71655
Drew County Landfill is the county landfill in Monticello where household and larger loads end up for burial. People hauling bulky trash, construction debris or pickup loads from around Drew County use it, and it’s the kind of place rural folks visit when curbside pickup won’t cut it. The site operates under Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality oversight like other landfills in the state.
Expect a drive-up entry with a scale and a staffed gate booth; most landfills in Arkansas weigh vehicles and apply tipping fees based on that weight. Pull into the booth, get directed where to dump, then cross the scale again on the way out so the fee can be calculated. The property looks like working landfill terrain-cells, compacted dirt, and heavy equipment, with traffic that can back up during weekend or spring-cleanup times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a cover for loose loads; debris blowing out of a truck can get stopped at the gate or attract extra attention.
- Know whether the load is commercial or residential before arrival - landfills commonly treat commercial loads differently and will expect that classification at the scale.
- Have the vehicle clean enough to drive on and off the scale easily; heavy mud or extra trailer weight can affect how the load is recorded.
