Marshall County Landfill sits out on Pheasant Road in Home and is the kind of place locals and haulers use for final disposal of trash. It’s a county landfill that handles larger volumes than a little town drop-off, so expect traffic from surrounding rural areas as well as bigger trucks.
Drive up to a small scale/office area first; these landfills typically weigh loads and charge tipping fees by weight, so there’s usually a stop in and a stop out. After the scale, pull through to the active tipping cell or drop area-the site is mostly open dirt roads and compacted areas, not paved like a city transfer station. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, and wind can make things dusty, so bring patience and keep windows up if it’s windy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Allow extra time on Saturdays and during spring cleanups; backups are common and traffic moves slowly.
- Have loads covered and secured for highway travel; loose debris is a headache for everyone once on site.
- Drive slowly on the access roads-ruts, gravel, and soft spots are common, and larger trucks need extra room to maneuver.
