Seward County Landfill
Seward County Landfill, 1703 E. 8th Street, Liberal, 67901, Kansas
Seward County Landfill on E. 8th Street in Liberal is where residential and larger loads end up when they need to be buried. Locals and haulers bring everything from household junk to construction debris. Expect a county landfill setup: big dirt berms, heavy equipment, and a gated entrance with a scale.
There’s a small entrance booth and a drive-over scale; landfills typically charge by weight or have minimum tipping fees, so plan on stopping at the gate. Pull up to the tipping area and follow the traffic flow - don’t cut across active working faces. The site is mostly gravel, dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain, with piles of material and dozers moving things around. If recycling or drop-off stations exist, they’re usually off to the side and signed as you come in.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps or tie-downs - loose trash blows out on the road and makes the trip longer.
- Wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for dust or mud; the ground near the tipping area is often uneven.
- Aim for a weekday morning if possible; weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to back up traffic.
