Cowley County Landfill

23857 81st Rd, Winfield, KS 67156

(620) 221-4307

A county landfill just outside Winfield used by residents and haulers throughout the region. Trucks, trailers and commercial roll-offs all show up here to dispose of material that has to be buried rather than recycled or hauled elsewhere.

There’s a drive-on scale and an entrance booth where vehicles are checked; the site charges tipping fees based on weight, so expect the scale to be part of the process. After weighing, vehicles are directed to piles or cells where material is dumped and then covered; large trucks can maneuver in the open yard but give yourself room for turning. The place looks like a working pit and cover area rather than a tidy transfer station, and lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup.

Before You Go

  • Have loads tied down and covered for the drive in and out to avoid loose debris on the road and extra cleanup time at the site.
  • Approach the scale slowly and be prepared to stop twice-once in and often again on the way out after dumping.
  • If hauling a trailer, leave extra space when parking and consider bringing a helper to spot and guide for backing into the drop area.
