Boone County Landfill
Boone County Landfill, 1268 224th Lane, Boone, 50036, Iowa
Boone County Landfill on 224th Lane outside Boone is where local households and haulers bring trash that's destined to be buried. It handles small residential drop-offs alongside larger commercial trucks, so expect a mix of both types of loads.
Drive in past an entrance booth and cross a scale-charges are typically by weight, so plan to be weighed on the way in and again on the way out. After weighing, follow the access road to the active dumping area; trucks and pickups share the lanes, so take it slow. The site is fairly large with mounded areas where material is buried; commercial loads are accepted and are usually on a different tipping-fee schedule than residential loads. Separate recyclables and bulky items before unloading if possible to speed things up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loose material before the drive; wind on the county roads will turn a loose load into a bigger mess.
- Avoid mid-to-late weekend mornings and spring-cleanup rushes if possible-lines tend to form then, so early weekday trips move faster.
- Bring basic tools and gloves. A shovel or rake and some heavy gloves make unloading and spreading small loads much easier.
