Stanton County Landfill
Stanton County Landfill, 900 W Road 10, Johnson, , Kansas
Stanton County Landfill is the county dump out on W Road 10 just outside Johnson City, used by local residents and businesses for final disposal. Trucks and pickups head here for stuff that won't get recycled or hauled off any other way. It’s a working landfill - expect a no-frills, industrial feel.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale; landfills like this charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to be weighed and charged based on what you bring. The site is gravel and dirt, with big trucks, mounded cells and heavy equipment in the background. Pull up to the booth first and follow directions for where to unload; recycling or drop-off spots are usually set near the working area. County landfills commonly handle both residential and commercial loads, and fees vary with weight and material type.

Before You Go
- Tie down loose loads with a tarp before leaving home-wind and the drive can spread debris and slow things down.
- Split recyclables or scrap metal out at the driveway so unloading goes faster once on site.
- Skip weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible; those times get backed up, so aim for a weekday or later in the day to avoid a line.
