Kandiyohi County Sanitary Landfill

Kandiyohi County Sanitary Landfill, 15650 Hwy 71 NE, New London, 56273, Minnesota

Kandiyohi County Sanitary Landfill in New London is the county landfill on Hwy 71 NE used by local residents and commercial haulers for final disposal. It’s the place trash gets buried rather than processed elsewhere, and like most landfills there are tipping fees charged by weight and provisions for commercial loads, though exact rates and rules vary by location.

Pull in on a gravel drive and you’ll see large compacted mounds and heavy equipment working the cells; the site looks like a busy, open outdoor work area more than a neat recycling center. There’s commonly a scale or scale house near the entrance, so vehicles often drive on to get weighed, go dump at the active tipping area, then come back for a final weigh-out. Weather makes a big difference - dusty in dry spells, muddy after rain - and trucks and trailers move around, so watch where you pull over.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loose loads before heading over; loose debris can blow out on Hwy 71 and makes cleanup harder.
  • Break down large furniture or bulky items ahead of time so they’re easier to maneuver and dump at the pit.
  • Leave room in the schedule for a weigh-in and weigh-out sequence-most landfills charge by weight, so expect to stop on the scale before and after unloading.
