Morris City Landfill is the regional burial site for household and commercial trash near Morris, used by local residents, contractors and haulers. It's a working landfill with the size and traffic typical of a county facility rather than a small drop-off point.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale you’ll drive over - tipping fees are handled by weight, so expect to stop twice (in and out) if bringing a full load. Large trucks and roll-offs are common; the site itself is open with dirt roads, gravel surfaces and piled cells/berms that mark active areas. Pull up to the booth first, then follow the internal signs to the tipping area and exit back over the scale when finished.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose material before arriving; wind can scatter debris on the access roads.
- Try to come midweek if possible - weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be noticeably busier.
- Have any required permits or vehicle ID accessible so the booth transaction goes quickly.
