Cass County Sanitary Landfill

65928 Jackson Rd, Atlantic, IA 50022

(712) 243-0990

A county landfill out on Jackson Road that handles both household and commercial trash for the Cass County area. Farmers and pickup-truck loads are common here, and the place gets busier during seasonal cleanups and after storms.

There’s a drive-up scale where trucks are weighed, so plan to stop twice - once in and once out - since tipping fees are based on weight and material type. A small gate booth sits near the entrance for check-in and payment; after that, follow the signs and attendants directing you to the working face. The site is open land with large dirt mounds, heavy equipment moving around, and a lot of semi traffic when commercial loads arrive. Lines can form on weekends and during spring farm cleanup, so expect some waiting during those times.

Before You Go

  • Bring a cover or tarp if hauling loose material - wind can blow it around while waiting in line.
  • Have a clear description of the load ready at the booth (household, construction, mixed) to speed up check-in.
  • Drive slowly inside the site and watch for heavy equipment; wear boots if stepping out to secure a load.
