Sherman County Landfill

Sherman County Landfill, out at 5240 Road 17 in Goodland, is where the county buries municipal and bulk trash. Locals, farmers and contractors bring pickup loads and trailers here; county landfills like this commonly accept commercial loads, though fees and rules vary by load. It’s a working site - heavy equipment, dirt mounds and open cells are what stand out.

Drive up to a gated entrance with a weigh booth and a scale; tipping fees at landfills are usually charged by weight or volume, so expect to be weighed. Pull up to the booth, get directed or follow posted signs, then head out to the active dumping area where loaders and compactors operate. The ground is mostly bare and can be dusty or muddy depending on weather, and large trucks will be moving around. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there can be a wait.
