Dodge County Landfill in Eastman is the county landfill where household trash and larger loads end up. Locals, contractors and haulers drop off there when other options won’t take big or bulky stuff.
There’s a drive-up entrance with a scale-vehicles stop on the way in and again when they leave because tipping is charged by weight. A small gate/booth area is visible from the road where attendants manage traffic and direct where to dump. The site is large and open with piles and compacted sections; bring a tarp for loose loads since wind can be an issue. Signs and staff usually point out where to pull up for unloading and where recycling or bulky-drop areas sit.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads secured and covered so nothing blows out on the drive in; loose debris can lead to extra stops to pick things up.
- Expect slower lines on weekends and during spring cleanups-plan for extra time if hauling a trailer or truckload.
- Sort bulky items and recyclables at home so unloading goes faster; being organized saves time at the scale and dump area.
