Chippewa County Landfill

A working landfill on Highway 7 that handles final disposal for Chippewa County residents and businesses. Local homeowners and haulers use it for bulk trash and large cleanouts, and commercial loads are typically accepted at sites like this. Winters in Minnesota can change how things run, so the place can feel bare and windy in cold months.

There’s a scale and an entrance booth where vehicles stop to be weighed, so plan for a short pause on the way in and again on the way out. After the booth, pull up to the tipping area where trucks and trailers unload-large piles of covered cells and earthworks are visible around the site. The site is large and mostly outdoors, with heavy equipment and compacted refuse around the active cell; expect gravel drives and room for maneuvering big trucks. Tipping fees are charged by weight at places like this, and rates usually differ for residential versus commercial loads.
