Clay County Solid Waste Lndfll
1330 21st Rd, Clay Center, KS 67432
(785) 632-2487Small county landfill used by residents, farmers and local contractors from around Clay County. Located just off 21st Road, it handles general household trash and the usual recycle/yard-type dropoffs that people in rural Kansas bring in.
Drive in past a simple entrance area where there’s often a booth and a place to stop for direction; many landfills in the region have a scale near the entrance so expect to pause. Vehicles typically pull up, get sorted toward the trash pile or recycling bays, then leave the same way they came in. The site looks like a working county operation-gravel drives, piles of material, and a handful of roll-off containers rather than fancy landscaping.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Keep loads covered and tied down for the trip; loose debris blows everywhere on the drive in.
- Separate recyclables and yard waste at home so unloading moves faster once at the site.
- Avoid weekends and spring-cleanup weekends when lines and wait times are noticeably longer.
