Coffey County Land Fill in Burlington is the local place for getting rid of household and community trash; people from town and nearby rural roads use it. Located at 1498 12th Ln SE, it sits like other Kansas regional landfills that serve multiple counties and rural areas.
Drive in off 12th Ln SE onto a gravel or dirt approach and look for a gate or small entrance area marking the site. The property is likely an open lot with piles and compacted areas for different kinds of loads, and vehicles pull up to drop-off points or roll-off containers. Some county landfills have a small booth and a scale, so be ready to stop and wait in line if traffic is heavy. Weekends and spring cleanup tend to be the busiest times, so there can be a short queue to get to the tip-off areas.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads so debris doesn’t blow out while driving to the site.
- Sort bulky items and recyclables at home as much as possible to move through the site faster.
- Expect slower service on weekends and during spring cleanups; plan for a little extra time when hauling larger loads.
