Get Directions

Rice County Sanitary Landfill in Dundas (3800 East 145th Street) is the county landfill where both household and commercial haulers take trash for final burial. It’s a large, working site - big berms, heavy equipment, and a proper tipping area rather than a small drop-off lot. Locals bring everything from pickup loads to commercial trucks here.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale house, so expect to stop to be weighed and then pull forward to the tipping face. The tipping area is rough gravel and dirt with loaders and compactors moving material; odors can drift on breezy days. Tipping fees are typically weight-based with minimum charges and different rates for certain material types, and county landfills like this generally accept commercial loads as well as residential. Lines can get long on weekends and especially during spring cleanup, so plan accordingly.

Before You Go

  • Cover loads with a tarp before leaving home so loose debris doesn’t blow off during the trip and to avoid extra handling at the site.
  • Use a vehicle that handles rough, muddy ground; the drive and tipping area are gravel and can be slippery after rain.
  • Try to go midweek or later in the day if possible - weekend and spring-cleanup traffic usually means a longer wait.
