Landfill
Erie City Landfill
Rooks Rd, Erie, KS 66733
Erie City Landfill on Rooks Rd is the local burial site for trash serving Erie and nearby areas. Neighbors, local haulers and anyone with material that needs final disposal use this kind of place, so expect a working, no-frills operation.
The site is large and open, with dirt driveways, piles of cover soil and the usual flow of dump trucks and trailers. There’s typically an entrance booth and a scale-landfills normally charge tipping fees by weight or by load, so plan to stop at the scale on the way in and again on the way out. Pull up slowly to the booth/scale and then head to the tipping area; directions are usually posted or given as you enter. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so lines and wait times can form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose items before driving in-loose debris can blow off and make unloading slower or messier.
- Keep small items in bins or buckets for quick unloading at the tip; it saves time compared with sorting things out on-site.
- If hauling a commercial-size load, build extra time into the trip-policies and procedures for large or commercial loads vary at landfills, and heavier loads mean higher tipping fees.
