South Central Iowa Landfill

South Central Iowa Landfill on Highway 92 in Winterset is the buried-waste site locals and haulers use when trash or construction debris needs to be disposed of. As a landfill, it handles final disposal rather than recycling, and tipping fees are set locally so costs can vary. Many landfills like this accept commercial loads, though rates and rules may differ from residential drop-offs.

Facilities of this type usually have a small entrance area with a scale and a booth where vehicles stop to be weighed; tipping fees are commonly charged by weight or per load. Driveways and working areas are often gravel and can be dusty or muddy depending on weather, with heavy equipment and compacted piles visible around the site. Pull up slowly, secure loose material in the truck or trailer, and be prepared for an unpaved surface when walking around to unload. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines and delays are possible.
