Clay County Sanitary Landfill

Clay County Sanitary Landfill is the county dump a few miles out of Hawley, used by local homeowners, contractors and haulers. It’s a traditional landfill where trash gets buried; tipping fees are typically charged by weight and county landfills commonly accept commercial loads.

Pull up to a small scale house or booth near the entrance and be prepared to be weighed - tipping fees are usually based on weight so expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out. The site looks like big mounds of compacted trash with heavy equipment working the active face; large trucks and trailers are common. After the scale, traffic moves toward the active dumping area where vehicles unload; smaller cars and trailers often pull into different spots to empty out. Weekends and spring cleanup time tend to be busiest, and lines at the scale are normal.
