Crow Wing County Sanitary Landfill on Highway 210 in Brainerd is the county landfill where larger household loads and commercial-type hauls end up being buried. Locals and businesses drop off everything from pickup truck loads to bigger trailers, so expect a busy, working-site feel.
Drive up to an entrance booth and you'll cross a scale - charges are weight-based, so plan to stop again on the way out. Follow the posted traffic flow inside the site; drop-off spots for brush, metal, concrete and regular trash are commonly separated, so being organized helps. The site is big and open, with dirt roads, berms and visible piles, and larger trucks moving around. Weekends and spring cleanup times get backed up, so a wait is normal then.
