Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Landfill #2

Cedar Rapids Linn County Solid Waste Landfill #2 is the county landfill out on County Home Road in Marion, the place most residents and larger haulers use when trash needs to be buried. Trucks and pickups both show up here; it has the scale and space you'd expect from a municipal landfill. The site feels open and utilitarian rather than like a neat transfer station.

Drive in and cross a weigh scale - county landfills typically charge by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. An entrance booth and a clear flow of traffic lead to the unloading area; pull into the proper lane, dump where the lanes indicate, then head back to the scale. Tipping fees are based on weight and sometimes load type at facilities like this, and county landfills commonly accept commercial loads so you’ll see larger trucks. The ground can be muddy or dusty depending on weather, and lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup.
