Small county landfill on the outskirts of Audubon that handles both farm and household loads. Trucks and pickups use it - expect to see a steady mix of residential vehicles and farm equipment, especially during planting and harvest seasons.
A scale booth sits near the entrance, so vehicles pull up, get weighed, then head to the tipping area; expect to stop again on the way out for a second weigh. The site looks like a working gravel lot with piles of compacted material and heavy equipment moving around, not a tidy transfer station. Tipping fees are typically charged by weight at facilities like this, and commercial loads are usually handled here alongside residential drop-offs.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads secured and tarped for the trip in - loose material blows easily on the county roads.
- Drive slowly on the access road and through the site; it’s often dusty and rutted after wet weather.
- Bring gloves and sturdy shoes; walking around the tipping area can be uneven and there’s heavy equipment nearby.
