Whiteside County Landfill

Whiteside County Landfill at 18762 Lincoln Road in Morrison is the county landfill where trash gets buried; both local residents and commercial haulers bring loads here. It’s a working site with heavy equipment and open cells rather than a tidy transfer station, so plan for a practical, hands-on visit.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale - fees are typically charged by weight, so most vehicles stop to be weighed on the way in and out. After the scale, pull up to the tipping area where larger trucks and smaller vehicles generally unload in different spots. The site looks like big dirt piles, compacted cover, and heavy machinery moving around, and access roads are usually gravel or packed earth. Weekends and spring cleanup times often bring lines, so traffic can back up.
