Local residents and haulers both use it - it’s the sort of place people go when transfer sites aren’t an option. The site is part of the regional network of landfills common in Kansas.

The tipping area is out in the open with marked cells and heavy equipment moving material around, so watch for loaders and do not wander. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, are usually off to one side past the scale. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanups, and the whole site looks like a working dirt-and-gravel operation rather than a tidy transfer station.
