Clinton Landfill Inc is the local landfill just off US-51 used by residents and haulers from around Clinton and nearby rural towns. The place handles everyday household drop-offs and larger commercial deliveries, so expect a mix of pickup trucks and roll-off trucks on site.
A drive past the entrance booth leads to a scale house where vehicles are weighed and charged by weight; plan to stop twice - once in and once out. The site is a working landfill, so there are bare soil piles, compactors, and haul roads rather than tidy bins. Pull up to the tipping area that fits your vehicle size and follow staff direction or posted signs for where to tip. Weekend and spring-cleanup traffic can build up, so lines at the scale are common then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have a plan for where to tip based on vehicle size - pickups can usually use the smaller tipping ramp while roll-offs need the main pad.
- Expect to be weighed on a scale when entering and again when leaving; fees are typically charged by weight rather than per load.
- Bring solidly secured loads and tarp loose material; wind and a working site mean debris can blow or shift during unloading.
