A-1 Landfill & Drop-Off is the city landfill on the north side of Omaha that handles final burial of municipal and commercial trash. Farmers, contractors and neighborhood folks drop off everything from household junk to larger commercial loads here. The site is what it sounds like: a working landfill rather than a transfer station.
Expect to drive over a scale to be weighed; tipping fees are set by weight so most vehicles stop both on the way in and again on the way out. There’s a small entrance area with a booth and lanes for trucks and pickups to pull up, then open tipping cells and large dirt/cover piles beyond. Big trucks are common and the ground can be dusty or muddy depending on the weather. Commercial loads are accepted here, and the operation is on a larger scale than neighborhood drop-off points.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose material - windy days will scatter lightweight trash and make unloading harder.
- Bring any paperwork or load information a hauling company would provide, since commercial trucks follow a different route and process than passenger vehicles.
- Plan visits outside peak times like weekend and spring cleanup periods; lines and wait times grow noticeably then.
