Clarks Grove Demolition (Peterson) Landfill

Small rural landfill on the edge of Clarks Grove that locals use for household cleanouts and construction rubble. Trucks and pickups are the common visitors here, not a transfer station or recycling center. It’s the place items go when they’re getting buried, so expect a working landfill vibe rather than a tidy drop-off lot.

There’s a weigh scale at these kinds of facilities and fees are usually based on weight with a residential minimum; commercial loads are commonly handled at demolition landfills. Pull up to the entrance/scale booth, then follow the lane toward the active tipping area where piles of dirt, concrete and demo debris sit; semi trailers and dump trucks will be moving about. Site surfaces can be dusty in summer and rough or muddy in spring thaw, and Minnesota winters often mean shorter hours or indoor options at some local facilities.
