Scott Area Sanitary Landfill
Scott Area Sanitary Landfill, 11555 110th Avenue County Road Y-48, Davenport, 52804, Iowa
Scott Area Sanitary Landfill is the county landfill out on 11555 110th Avenue in Davenport, where both household pickups and commercial trucks bring trash. It’s a working landfill - expect heavy equipment, dirt and gravel roads, and the gate booth at the entrance.
There’s a scale and a gate booth; tipping fees are weight-based so loads get weighed. After checking in at the booth, drive to the active tipping area and unload, then stop for the outbound weigh if required. The site looks industrial: compacted piles, loaders moving cover material, and plenty of big trucks. Weekends and spring clean-up are the busiest times, so lines and delays happen.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose loads with tarps and straps - wind will blow things off on the road into and out of the site.
- Wear work clothes and gloves, and have basic tools ready to help get bulky items off the truck or trailer.
- Load with dumping in mind so heavy items are easy to tip; commercial haulers should plan extra time for maneuvering behind larger trucks.
