Barber County Landfill

Barber County Landfill is the county landfill just south of Kiowa on US-281, used by local residents and commercial haulers in the region. It’s the kind of place trucks, trailers and pickup loads end up when trash needs to be buried rather than recycled. Expect a working, no-frills site that handles the final disposal of solid waste for the area.

There’s a scale at the entrance and the tipping fees are charged by weight, so vehicles are typically weighed in and weighed out. A small booth or station near the gate is where attendants manage traffic and direct trucks; plan to pull up to the scale and then again to the tipping area. The landfill is large and open-gravel drives, compacted dirt cells and piles of cover material are common sights. Commercial loads are accepted, so semis and dump trucks are a regular part of the traffic flow.
