Champ Landfill

Champ Landfill is the municipal landfill out on Creve Coeur Mill Road that handles the final burial of trash for the area. Local homeowners and businesses both use it; expect to see trucks, trailers, and regular cars dropping off bulk loads.

Drive up the short access road to an entrance booth and you'll stop at a scale-this kind of landfill typically charges tipping fees based on weight or by load. After weighing in, vehicles are directed to an active tipping face or a staging area where material is emptied; the site is mostly open cells, dirt roads, and compacted piles. Look for traffic coming back toward the scale to weigh out and settle charges, and be prepared for dusty conditions and heavy equipment working around the drop areas. Weekends and spring cleanup periods often mean a longer line of vehicles waiting to get through.
