Bremer County Sanitary Landfill

Small but functional county landfill just outside Waverly that handles household and commercial loads. Farmers and residents both use it, especially during spring cleanup and harvest season when traffic picks up.

Drive in to a gravel entrance and pass a scale booth where trucks are weighed - tipping fees are charged by weight, so be prepared for a stop on the way out as well. Pull up to the unloading area and follow painted lanes or staff directions; the active cell is a dirt-and-clay mound rather than a paved processing line. Recycling and drop-off spots are usually grouped near the entrance; the working face and heavy equipment are farther in, so expect some dust and big trucks moving around. Weekend and seasonal surges are common, so the line can back up at the booth during busy times.
