Small county landfill out on 250th Street that handles Sidney and surrounding rural areas. Farmers and homeowners both use it-think tractors and pickup trucks alongside a few commercial roll-offs. It’s the place trash gets buried rather than recycled or processed.
Expect a big open yard with piles and cells in various stages of being covered; it looks like a work site more than a tidy transfer station. Most landfills of this type use a scale and charge tipping fees by weight, often with a minimum residential charge and separate commercial rates. There’s usually an entrance booth or scale house where vehicles stop, then you’ll be directed to pull up, unload, and head back over the scale to be weighed. Busy times are common during spring cleanups and harvest season, so lines can form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loads before leaving home so nothing blows out on the road or at the site.
- Bring gloves, a shovel or ratchet straps-unloading can be rough and some items need manual moving or extra hands.
- Plan for delays on weekends and during spring/fall farm seasons; leave space in the schedule for waiting at the scale and traffic in the yard.
