Sumner Landfill

Sumner Landfill, SR-250 & E. 550th Avenue, Sumner, 62466, Illinois

Sumner Landfill sits off SR-250 at E. 550th Avenue in Sumner; it’s the local place where trash gets buried. People from the town and commercial haulers use it, and like most landfills it operates with a scale and a tipping-fee structure based on weight.

There’s a small entrance area with a scale – drivers usually stop to be weighed, roll out to a tipping area, then come back over the scale on the way out. The site is mostly gravel and dirt with mounded cells of cover soil, so expect dust in dry weather and some mud after rain. Lines can form during busy times, and larger trucks are common here, so there’s room for big rigs and commercial loads. Fees are handled as tipping charges by weight at facilities like this, though exact amounts and payment rules aren’t listed here.

Before You Go

  • Tarp and secure loose stuff before the drive; wind and passing trucks can scatter debris fast.
  • Organize the load for quick dumping so the truck can pull forward, unload, and get back on the scale without extra fiddling.
  • Skip peak times when possible-weekends and spring-cleanup days tend to have the longest waits.
