Oakley Landfill sits a few miles outside town on Day Dream Road and is the kind of large county landfill folks and small businesses in the area use when curbside pickup isn’t an option. Locals bring everything from household cleanouts to trailer loads from farms and small contractors here.
The site is big and open - long drive in, a small entrance booth and a pull-through area for trucks and trailers. Most landfills of this type have a scale and charge by weight, so plan for a stop on the way out as well as the way in. Expect unpaved surfaces and loose gravel around the drop zones; larger loads are handled at the active dumping face while smaller items can be offloaded closer to the entrance area. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, with vehicles lining up onto the access road.

Before You Go
- Bring good tie-downs and a tarp - wind on the plains can make loose trash a mess before getting to the dump.
- Have an idea of what’s in the load and separate anything that could be hazardous or recyclable; it will save time if staff need to direct specific items elsewhere.
- Pull all trailers up to the booth area slowly and be prepared to be directed to the scale or the dumping area; leave room for other trucks to pass when parking.
