Harrison County Sanitary Landfill
Harrison County Sanitary Landfill, 2812 E. Highway 30, Logan, 51546, Iowa
Harrison County Sanitary Landfill is the county landfill on E. Highway 30 in Logan (2812 E. Highway 30). Residents and local businesses bring household junk, construction debris and the kind of stuff that ends up buried here.
This is a large, county-scale landfill - expect trucks, trailers and open dumping areas rather than a small curbside drop-off. There’s usually an entrance booth and a weigh scale; vehicles typically stop to be weighed and tipping fees are normally charged by weight or per load. Pull up to the booth/scale, then follow the site roads toward the active dumping area where loads are emptied. Roads can be gravel and dusty or muddy depending on weather, and vehicles often pass slowly through the site.

Before You Go
- Sort and secure loads before getting to the gate so unloading goes quicker and loose material doesn’t blow out on the road.
- Bring sturdy shoes and gloves - footing can be uneven and the area gets dusty or slick after rain.
- Try to avoid weekend mornings or spring cleanup weekends when lines tend to build; midweek mornings are usually less crowded.
