Linn County Landfill

Small county landfill just off Vernon Road that locals and small haulers use when Prescott cleanup piles up. Trucks, trailers and pickup loads all show up here; larger commercial loads are handled at places like this in the region as well. It’s the final place for stuff that can’t be dropped at the recycling boxes or transfer sites.

Drive past a weigh scale and a little booth before getting to the working face; the site is the typical open, fenced landfill with dirt roads and piles of cover material. They charge tipping fees by weight with a minimum charge for small loads, so expect to stop at the scale on the way in and again when leaving. Pull into the unloading zone indicated by flagging or traffic flow, then move off to let others in-there’s usually room for a trailer to turn around. The recycling bins and any drop-off sheds, if present, are usually set off to one side rather than mixed in with the burial area.
