Chanute Landfill

Chanute Landfill is at 2201 E. 14th on the east side of Chanute and is where residents and local haulers take larger loads that don’t fit in curbside pickup. The site looks like a working yard-dirt roads, high berms and big compacted mounds are the first things noticed. People come with anything from a single pickup load to larger truck drops.

Pull up to a small entrance booth and a weigh scale; trucks usually drive onto the scale so loads can be recorded. Landfills commonly charge tipping fees by weight or have a minimum fee, so expect a weigh-in and possibly a second weigh on the way out. After that, follow the main lane out to the open tipping face and unload where the active area is obvious. Weekend mornings and spring-cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so plan extra time if arriving then.
