Gove County Landfill
Gove County Landfill, 5680 County Road AA, Park, 67751, Kansas
Gove County Landfill in Park, Kansas is the county landfill where trash is finally buried. Locals, pickup loads and commercial haulers all use it for larger disposals, so it sees a mix of small and big drops.
The site feels rural - gravel drives, open working faces and piles of dirt and cover material rather than a paved transfer station. Many landfills charge tipping fees either by weight on a scale or by load size, so expect some kind of fee structure and a weigh-in/weigh-out process on heavier loads. Commercial loads are commonly accepted at county landfills, though they are often billed differently than residential drops. Busy times like spring cleanups and weekend mornings tend to stall traffic, so plan accordingly.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose material before hauling - wind and dust are common and loose debris can be a hassle to clean up.
- Separate bulky items (furniture, appliances) from bagged trash to speed unloading and avoid unnecessary rummaging.
- Bring sturdy shoes, gloves and an extra pair of hands for heavy items; the ground is often gravel or uneven and unloading can be physical work.
