Landfill
Graham County Landfill
Graham County Landfill, 2400 US Hwy 283, Hill City, 67642, Kansas
Graham County Landfill is the county dump out on US‑283 just outside Hill City, where locals and haulers drop off trash that gets buried. Trucks, trailers and pickup loads are the usual sight; people come here for anything that can’t be burned or recycled in town.
Drive in on a gravel approach and slow down for a scale near the entrance - landfills like this charge tipping fees by weight. After weighing, drivers are sent to the active cell or working face to unload; the site is mostly open dirt piles and compacted berms with gravel driving surfaces. There’s an entrance booth and places to pull off to wait, so plan on stopping twice if weighing is used. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, while weekday mid‑mornings are generally quieter.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loads tightly; loose debris blows out on the highway and can get you stopped at the scale.
- Bring gloves, a shovel and sturdy bags - loose refuse often needs to be bagged or reshaped before it’s accepted at the tipping area.
- Aim for a weekday mid‑morning visit if possible; busy times, especially in spring, can mean waiting in line on the gravel.
