Nobles County Landfill Inc.
Nobles County Landfill Inc., 24777 220th Street, Rushmore, 56168, Minnesota
Nobles County Landfill Inc. sits just off 220th Street in Rushmore and is where local households and haulers bring trash to be buried. Pickup trucks, trailers and commercial trucks use the site - mostly folks cleaning out garages or contractors finishing jobs.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale you’ll cross - tipping fees at landfills like this are typically charged by weight or by load, so expect to stop again on the way out. Pull up to the booth area, then follow the flow of traffic out to the active tipping area where trucks unload. The site is a working yard: dirt roads, heavy equipment and large, compacted piles of material; it’s not a tidy place. Weekends and spring cleanup season tend to get backed up, so allow extra time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before heading in so debris doesn’t blow off while waiting in line.
- Have a ballpark idea of how much you’re hauling - fees are generally by weight or load, so estimating helps avoid surprises.
- Drive slowly on the gravel entrance, watch for big trucks and equipment, and expect dust and mud depending on the weather.
