Solid Waste Facility
Cedar Rapids/Linn County Solid Waste Agency
2250 A St SW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52404
(319) 398-5163A local solid waste facility in southwest Cedar Rapids used by households and farms in Linn County. This site handles general household trash, recycling and yard-type loads and gets busy during seasonal cleanups and farm work windows.
Drive to the entrance at 2250 A St SW and pull up to an entrance/exit booth to check in; there’s usually a scale on site so vehicles are weighed. Drop-off areas and recycling bins are laid out across a fairly large yard with gravel and paved sections, so expect to drive around to the right spot for each load. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, and trailers or larger trucks take a bit more maneuvering to get into the unloading spots.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads at least loosely sorted before getting out of the vehicle - that saves time once at the bins or unloading area.
- Bring a tarp or straps to cover loose material for safer transport; loose debris can blow out while driving and slows unloading.
- Plan to go earlier in the day on busy weekends or during spring/fall cleanups to avoid long lines and tighter parking.
