Get Directions

East Central Sanitary Landfill (ECSWC) is the county landfill out on 180th Avenue just outside Mora, where residents and haulers bring trash that’s destined to be buried. It’s a working site - big mounds of cover soil, gravel roads, and equipment moving around. People from town stop by for regular loads and larger cleanup junk alike.

Drive up the access road and there’s a scale that most vehicles use; tipping fees are assessed and charging by weight is common at landfills, so expect to stop for weighing. There’s usually a small booth or weigh station area near the entrance and then space to pull forward to unload. The site looks industrial - compacted cells, exposed dirt, and heavy equipment, with traffic patterns for incoming and outgoing trucks. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines can form.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loose loads before arriving - loose debris blows around and slows the unload process.
  • Sort obvious recyclables and anything hazardous at home so unloading goes faster and surprises are avoided.
  • Try to come midweek or early in the morning when possible; weekends and spring cleanup days are almost always the longest waits.
