Butler County Landfill

Butler County Landfill, 2963 SW 40th, El Dorado, 67042, Kansas

County landfill out on SW 40th that folks from El Dorado and nearby towns use for household cleanouts and contractor hauls. It’s the final place trash gets buried, not a drop-off recycling center or transfer station. Trucks, pickups and roll-offs all show up here on a regular basis.

Drive in to a small entrance booth where loads are recorded and tipping fees are handled, then usually cross a scale before being sent to the active dumping area. The site is mostly gravel and dirt with big berms and compacted piles; expect truck traffic, dust and a bulldozer or two working the face. Vehicles often have to back up to the drop point or walk loads a short distance, then return over the scale so the load can be logged before leaving. Commercial haulers are common, so there’s typically a steady flow and some lines at busy times.

Before You Go

  • Load trucks with similar items grouped together so unloading goes faster if the site directs certain materials to different places.
  • Bring gloves, sturdy shoes and something to secure loose loads for the drive in-dust and mud happen depending on the weather.
  • Avoid weekend and spring-cleanup peak times if possible; midweek mornings tend to move quicker and cut down on waiting behind dump trucks.
