Waste Management - Prairie Hill Landfill

18762 Lincoln Rd, Morrison, IL 61270

(866) 909-4458

Prairie Hill Landfill is the burial site for municipal and commercial trash serving the Morrison area. Locals and haulers both use it for final disposal, and it handles larger loads compared with small transfer stations.

Drive up to an entrance booth and stop at a scale-this place charges by weight so expect to be weighed in and out. After the scale, follow the road to the tipping area where large cells and earth-moving equipment are visible; pickup trucks through commercial roll-offs all unload in the same general area. The site is big and mostly open, with dirt roads and compacted areas; plan for dusty conditions in dry weather and mud when it rains. Keep an eye on signage for traffic flow and any directions at the booth before proceeding to the tip face.

Before You Go

  • Have a plan for where to dump in the truck before pulling in; it saves time and reduces trips across the site.
  • Secure loose materials so nothing flies out on the way; windy days make loose trash a hassle.
  • Try to go during weekdays and avoid spring cleanup weekends if possible, as lines and wait times swell.
