Rolla City Landfill is the municipal landfill just outside town for household and larger loads that need final disposal. Local residents and haulers use it when trash, bulky items, or construction debris can't be handled at curbside or smaller drop-off sites.
There's a scale at the entrance for weighing vehicles, and tipping fees are generally charged by weight with a minimum charge for small residential loads. The site looks like a typical landfill: drive-up working faces, compacted cover areas, and piles of incoming material, with a gate/booth where vehicles stop first. Commercial haulers usually use these kinds of landfills and can bring larger loads, though commercial fees are typically higher than residential rates.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarpaulin loose material before heading out so nothing blows off while driving and to make unloading faster.
- Separate obvious recyclables and hazardous-looking items at home so they don't slow unloading; recycling bins at smaller facilities are often in a different spot.
- Avoid weekend mid-mornings during spring cleanups if possible-lines can back up and unloading takes longer when lots of people show up.
