Comanche County Landfill is the county landfill just south of downtown Coldwater, used by residents and haulers from around the area. It’s the place where household trash and commercial loads end up buried rather than recycled or transferred. Farmers, small contractors and town pickup trucks tend to show up here.
Drive in to a single entrance with a small control booth and a drive-on scale; vehicles usually stop to be weighed and then pull forward to tip. The site is large, mostly open cells and compacted dirt roads, with piles of cover material and heavy equipment visible. Expect to back into the active face or a roll-off area and then head back over the scale to get a final weight. Tipping fees are charged (by weight or load) and the landfill accepts commercial loads, so larger trucks are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or secure your load well; wind can scatter loose debris and the site is exposed.
- Plan extra time on spring weekends or after storms - lines and wait times can increase noticeably.
- Have documentation for commercial loads handy (if required by a hauler or company), and be ready to follow the attendant’s direction for where to dump.
