Page County Sanitary Landfill
Page County Sanitary Landfill, 2032 N Avenue, Clarinda, 51632, Iowa
Page County Sanitary Landfill on N Avenue in Clarinda is where local household and commercial trash gets buried. Neighbors, landscapers and haulers bring oversized or heavy loads that won't fit in regular curbside pickup.
Drive in and you'll pass an entrance with a booth and a scale - tipping fees at landfills like this are commonly charged by weight or a minimum fee. Pull onto the scale, then move on to the dumping area; commercial trucks are typically handled at county landfills. The site looks practical and workmanlike: gravel drives, mounded cells and compacted material, with dust when it's dry and mud after rain. Recycling or drop-off containers are usually somewhere near the entrance, and lines can get long on weekends and during spring cleanup.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Try for a weekday morning to avoid the weekend rush-spring clean-up days can mean long waits.
- Secure loose items and tarp loads so nothing blows off on the gravel roads or when dumping.
- Sort things at home into loose/bulky items and bagged trash to speed unloading once it's your turn.
