High Plains Landfill is the local dump out on Powerline Road in Floweree, used by area residents and commercial haulers from several nearby counties. It’s the sort of big, open landfill where trucks and pickup loads get buried and capped on-site rather than sorted for recycling.
Pull up to an entrance booth and you’ll see a scale - tipping is generally handled by weight, so most people stop on the way in and again on the way out. The site is large and mostly bare ground with active cells, cover material piles, and the occasional compactor working. Commercial trucks are common here, so expect to share space with larger vehicles and wait your turn to unload. Winter weather can make the access road icy and slow, so plan for slick conditions and slower traffic.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose loads before leaving home; wind can turn a light load into a bigger mess and slow down unloading.
- Try to come midweek or early in the morning to avoid lines - weekends and spring cleanup times get backed up.
- Dress for the elements and bring sturdy footwear; the ground is uneven, muddy when thawing, and can be icy in winter.
