Finney County Landfill / Western Plains Regional Landfill
Finney County Landfill / Western Plains Regional Landfill, 1250 S. Raceway Road, Garden City, 67846, Kansas
Finney County Landfill / Western Plains Regional Landfill is Garden City's large regional landfill that handles both municipal and commercial loads. Contractors, haulers and residents bring anything that needs to be buried here. It’s the final stop for trash, not a recycling drop-off or transfer station.
Drive up to an entrance booth and a scale - most landfills charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to stop on the scale and again after dumping. The site is expansive with long access roads, heavy equipment working, and noticeable piles of compacted material; pull up to the tipping area and be ready to back in or back up to unload. Commercial trucks are common alongside pickup loads, so traffic can be a mix of rigs and smaller vehicles. Lines can build up at busy times, especially on weekends and during spring cleanups.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie-downs before getting to the gate - loose debris will slow the line and create extra cleanup.
- Have a vehicle and trailer arrangement that can safely back into the tipping area; some dumping spots require backing or maneuvering on a slope.
- Sort bulky or awkward items in the yard before you get to the scale so unloading is quicker and safer once you’re on site.
