Small county landfill on the edge of Eureka that handles household and larger loads from around Lincoln County. Locals, small haulers and occasional commercial trucks use it - expect a working, no-frills place down a gravel road near the airport.
Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be directed onto a scale; tipping fees are typically charged by weight so you’ll stop on the way out as well. The site is an open tipping area with compacted dirt and lined cells in places, not particularly landscaped - bring a cover for loose loads if windy. Recycling bins and a small drop-off area are usually nearby to the right of the entrance, and weekends or spring-cleanup days can get backed up with a line of pickups and trailers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads secured and tarped for wind - debris blows at this site more than expected.
- Bring a quick list of what’s in the load so unloading goes faster; blending household and demolition items slows the process.
- If towing a trailer, allow extra time for backing onto the scale and positioning for the tip - the approach is narrow and takes patience.
