Morris County Landfill

Small regional landfill just off US-56 in Council Grove, used by residents and haulers from around Morris County and nearby counties. It's the kind of place where both pickup trucks with a weekend load and commercial roll-offs show up on any given weekday. Expect a working, no-frills site where trash gets buried rather than sorted for recycling.

Drive up to a gated entrance and you'll likely see a scale and a collection point for vehicles; tipping fees are charged by load or weight at landfills of this scale, and commercial loads are accepted here. There’s a simple booth or building at the entrance where traffic is checked and payments are handled, so be ready to stop and pull forward when directed. The yard is mostly gravel and compacted cover, with large, open cells and heavy equipment moving around; traffic can back up at peak times like spring cleanup or weekends.
