Litchfield-Hillsboro Landfill

Litchfield-Hillsboro Landfill, 2782 Landfill Trail, Litchfield, 62056, Illinois

Litchfield-Hillsboro Landfill is the local burial site for household and contractor trash, sitting down on Landfill Trail just outside Litchfield. Trucks of all sizes show up here for final disposal; as a landfill it’s where material is buried in cells and covered. Commercial haulers commonly use places like this, and commercial loads are typically billed differently than residential drops.

There’s a scale/booth at the entrance where vehicles are weighed - expect to stop for a weigh-in and again on the way out. The site is large and dominated by dirt mounds, dozers and compactors; bring a truck that can handle gravel and uneven surfaces. Drivers pull up to a central tipping area to unload, then follow signs back to the scale; tipping fees are charged by weight rather than by item count. Weekends and spring cleanups get busy, so lines can form at the gate.

Before You Go

  • Cover and tie down loads so nothing blows out on the road; a tarp saves time and messy cleanups.
  • Allow extra time for the in/out weigh-ins since tipping fees are based on weight and there can be a short queue at the scale.
  • If hauling commercially, bring whatever business paperwork is normally required and plan for different billing than residential loads; avoiding peak weekend times makes the whole trip quicker.
