Reno County Landfill on S Mohawk Road is Hutchinson’s county landfill, where household trash and larger commercial loads typically end up. It’s a big, working site - not a tidy transfer station - with heavy equipment moving piles of material and areas set up for dropping loads.
Pull in and be ready for a scale/entrance booth area where vehicles are weighed and tipping fees are determined, so plan for a short stop before proceeding. The active dumping area has dirt ramps, mounded trash and machines pushing material; trucks usually back in to unload and then head back to the scale to be weighed again. The site surface is mostly gravel, so expect dust in dry weather and some mud after rain, and follow the posted traffic flow once past the booth.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and fasten loose items - wind and passing traffic can spread debris before getting to the drop point.
- Bring gloves and sturdy shoes, and bag small items to make unloading quicker and cleaner.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup season if a faster trip is the goal, since lines and wait times tend to grow then.
