Local drop for Pawnee County Solid Waste in Larned where residents bring household trash, yard clippings and recyclables. People from town and surrounding farms use it for routine cleanouts and seasonal pickups. It’s the kind of county site you stop at when the pickup truck is full.
Drive up to a gravel lot with a small entrance area and a few islands of containers; traffic can back up on busy weekends and during spring cleanup. There’s usually a booth or gate area near the driveway where vehicles pause before heading in. Recycling containers and yard-waste piles are typically grouped to one side while general trash goes to a larger collection area. Expect to back up to containers and secure loads before moving on; bring a friend to help if hauling bulky items.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down loose material and cover dusty loads - the gravel lot gets messy and wind can spread debris.
- Sort recyclables and yard waste at home so unloading goes faster once at the site.
- Plan for a wait on weekends or early spring; arriving midweek can save time if possible.
