Allen County Landfill
Allen County Landfill, 1170 2800th Street, La Harpe, 66751, Kansas
Allen County Landfill sits at 1170 2800th Street in La Harpe and handles both residential and commercial loads. It’s the county dump - large piles of compacted material, heavy gear moving around, and the kind of place haulers and weekend cleanups head to.
Pull up to an entrance booth and a drive-on scale - loads are weighed and tipping fees are assessed by weight, so expect to stop on the scale. The working area has big exposed faces and heavy equipment, so take it slow and watch for trucks. Commercial vehicles are accepted, and lines of pickups or roll-offs are common when the weather’s good. Surfaces can be dusty or muddy depending on conditions, so plan vehicle positioning carefully.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring the load secured and ready before pulling onto the scale to avoid holding up traffic.
- Give larger rigs extra room to maneuver; backing up to the active face can take a few tries.
- Avoid peak weekend or spring-cleanup times if possible - those are when lines get long.
