Lyon County Sanitary Landfill

Lyon County Sanitary Landfill on 220th Avenue in Lynd is the county landfill where locals haul household trash, old furniture and construction debris for burial. Farmers, contractors and homeowners all use it, and it tends to see more traffic during spring cleanup. Like many county landfills, it typically accepts both residential and commercial loads and charges tipping fees based on weight.

Drive up a gravel approach to an entrance booth and a scale; expect to stop at the scale and then again on the way out since charges are weight-based. After the booth you’ll be directed toward the active tipping area where large earth cells and piles of compacted material are visible and heavy equipment operates. The site looks industrial - dirt roads, cleared areas and machinery - so keep speeds low and watch for other trucks. Lines can form, especially on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so plan for a short wait if it’s busy.
