Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump

Chanute Landfill is the city’s regional burial site for household and commercial trash, located at 2201 W 14th St in Chanute. Neighbors, landscapers and haulers all use it when regular curbside pickup won’t do or for big cleanups.
Expect a large, open site with earth mounds and compacted working faces rather than a tidy transfer station. Loads are typically weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight, so trucks and trailers get routed past a scale before and after dumping. Pull in from W 14th St toward the main entrance road, follow the traffic flow to the drop area and then back to the scale to complete the transaction. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, tend to be grouped off to one side rather than mixed in with the active landfill cells.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose materials with a tarp so nothing blows out while driving through - wind can be strong on the open cells.
- Bring a shovel and gloves; lots of people spread bulky loads and some manual cleanup may be needed to get everything in the pit.
- Try to come on a weekday morning if possible; weekends and spring cleanup times are when lines usually form.
