(712) 792-5001Carroll County Solid Waste Management is the county dump out on Kittyhawk Avenue for folks in and around Carroll. Farmers and homeowners both turn up here - the place handles general household trash and often has spots for recycling and yard debris. It feels like a practical, working site rather than a polished recycling center.
Drive up the gravel driveway to a small entrance booth where attendants check vehicles; there’s usually a scale so expect to stop twice - once in and once on the way out if bringing bulky loads. Trucks and trailers are common, with piles of brush, bins for recyclables, and roll-off areas visible from the road. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, and the ground can be muddy after rain so take it slow when pulling in.
