Get Directions

South Central Iowa Sanitary Landfill is the regional landfill out on Hwy T-17 in Tracy, used by homeowners and haulers alike to get rid of trash that can't be recycled. The place looks like a working site - dirt piles, gravel roads and big trucks coming and going. Commercial loads show up alongside pickups, so expect mixed traffic and a practical, no-frills operation.

A small entrance booth and a scale are part of the routine, so plan to be weighed when you pull in and again when you leave; tipping fees are charged by weight rather than by item. Drive slowly from the highway onto the gravel, pull up to the booth to check in, then follow the signs or directions to the active dumping area. The site is open and exposed - flat tipping cells and cover material, with heavy equipment moving things around. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there can be a wait when it's busy.

Before You Go

  • Have loads sorted and secure before you get there - tarps and tied-down loads keep debris from blowing and speed up unloading.
  • Expect to stop at the booth and cross the scale; keep vehicle paperwork and truck tare info handy if hauling commercially to avoid delays.
  • Give extra time for maneuvering if bringing a trailer or large truck; watch for heavy equipment and other haulers when backing or turning.
