Small county-style landfill just off IA-78 that locals and farmers use when things at the transfer station won't cut it. Trucks and trailers are common here, so expect commercial haulers alongside pickup loads from nearby farms and homes.
There’s a scale at the entrance for weighing loads, so most folks stop once coming in and again when they leave - tipping fees are charged by weight. An entrance booth and scale house are visible from the highway; pull up to the booth, get directed to the tipping area, then back onto the scale on the way out. The site is open, with mounded cells and heavy equipment working the piles; wear boots if stepping out of a truck. Busy times tend to pile up traffic, especially during spring field cleanup.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp and tie-downs; loose debris can blow off loads when driving to and from the site.
- Plan for a bit of a wait on weekends and during spring planting/harvest season when farm traffic increases.
- Have an idea of load size before hitting the scale - charges are by weight, so splitting or consolidating loads matters.
