Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Pratt County Landfill is the county landfill out on SE 10th Ave just southeast of town and used by residents and commercial haulers from Pratt and nearby counties. It's the kind of big, no-frills place where loads are buried and heavier commercial trucks come through alongside pickup trucks and trailers. Expect a rural, working-landfill feel rather than a customer service center.
Drive up a long gravel approach to a small entrance booth and a scale; vehicles typically stop to be weighed before and after unloading so plan for that pause. After the booth there are wide driving lanes and open cells where loads are dumped, with larger compactor equipment visible on the mounds. Traffic can back up at busy times-trucks and trailers are common-so pull wide when turning and be prepared for loose rock and dusty surfaces. Tipping fees are assessed by weight and commercial loads are accepted, so this handles both single-trip residential dropoffs and regular business haulers.
