Trego County Landfill
Trego County Landfill, 24064 M Road, Wakeeney, 67672, Kansas
Trego County Landfill is the county dump just outside WaKeeney where residents and businesses bring material that will be buried. As a landfill it’s the final destination for trash; like most landfills there’s a scale with tiered tipping fees by weight, and commercial loads are typically handled here.
Drive in on M Road and you’ll come to a small weigh/entry point where vehicles stop to be weighed. Beyond that the site is mostly gravel roads, open cells and piles of cover dirt, with heavy trucks and compactors working the active face. Drivers generally pull up to the working area to unload and then cross the scale again on the way out for a final weight.

Before You Go
- Secure loose loads with a tarp and tie‑downs so nothing blows off on the way; it’s dusty and windy out there.
- Sort bulky items at the truck before getting to the gate-separating brush, metal or appliances can save time once at the drop-off area.
- Leave extra time for the scale stops and traffic from other haulers, especially when bringing commercial-sized loads.
