Tama County Sanitary Landfill

Tama County Sanitary Landfill is the county landfill out on K Avenue in Toledo, where household and commercial loads end up being buried. Neighbors and local haulers use it regularly, so expect a working, no-frills place rather than anything fancy. County landfills like this typically handle both residential and commercial deliveries.

The site is large and open with dirt roads, equipment in the distance, and the usual berms and cover areas; it looks like a working pit more than a recycling center. There’s typically an entrance area with a scale and a small booth, so drivers pull up, get weighed or documented, then are directed to the active dumping area. Backing and shuttling are common-trailers and pickups mix with bigger trucks-so go slow and watch for reversing vehicles. After unloading, most people go back over the scale and head out.
