Clinton County Sanitary Landfill (East) is the county landfill out on 220th Street that locals use for household cleanouts and larger hauls. People bring everything there when it won’t fit in curb pickup or when contractors finish a job. Landfills like this typically charge tipping fees by weight, and some accept commercial loads though rules and fees vary by facility.
Expect a working site with a scale and an entrance booth - plan to pull up to the booth/scale first and then head into the disposal area. The road in is usually gravel and can be dusty or muddy depending on weather, with big earth mounds and spread-out disposal cells. Vehicles often stop twice for weighing, so larger loads take longer than a quick drop-off. Have items ready to unload and keep loose debris tied down to make the process faster.
