Waste Management - Dickinson County Landfill

A working county landfill just off 190th Street that handles household and farm trash for Dickinson County. Locals, contractors and haulers bring everything here to be buried - it's a large site with truck traffic and a scale house. Expect a practical, no-frills setup rather than a tidy drop-off lot.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and then over a scale; tipping fees are assessed by weight so the truck is weighed coming in and again leaving. Commercial loads are handled here, and large trucks and trailers are common, so watch for heavy equipment and tight turning areas. The active cell areas look like graded dirt mounds with bare slopes, while recycling or drop-off bins (if present) tend to sit off to the side near the entrance. Lines build up on Saturdays and during spring fieldwork, so plan for short waits if it’s busy.
