Small county landfill just off Highway 71 that handles local household and community loads. People from New London and surrounding townships haul everything here when the curbside pickup won’t take it.
Drive up to a gate and a small entrance booth area where vehicles line up; there’s usually a scale you’ll cross during the visit so plan to stop twice if needed. The site is open-air with gravel roads and large dirt piles and the working face visible from the drive - wear boots if stepping out. Recycling and drop-off points are often set to the side of the main tipping area, and winters in Minnesota make the place feel exposed unless the facility has an indoor drop-off option.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a cover or tarp for loose loads - wind and gravel can scatter things during unloading.
- Have items sorted by type before getting to the booth so unloading is quicker and less chaotic.
- Avoid weekend mornings in spring if possible; those are the busiest times and lines can back up onto Highway 71.
