Beatrice Disposal Area Landfill
Beatrice Disposal Area Landfill, 3426 W Locust Road, Beatrice, 68310, Nebraska
A working landfill out on W Locust Road that locals use for household cleanouts and contractor loads. It’s the kind of place where pickups and dump trucks are a regular sight, not a tidy transfer station. Expect a practical, no-frills setup rather than anything fancy.
A scale and a small entrance booth sit near the driveway; traffic is weighed, so drivers stop to get on and off the scale. Pull up slowly to the booth area and follow the traffic flow - large piles of compacted fill and heavy equipment are visible across the site. Tipping fees are handled by weight at the scale, and commercial trucks come through regularly, so spaces for larger rigs are common. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to get busy and lines form at the entrance.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps or straps; loose debris blowing around is a real hassle and slows unloading.
- Try midweek mornings if possible - fewer pickups and shorter lines than weekend afternoons.
- Sort bulky stuff ahead of time (metal, brush, big furniture) so unloading goes quicker and doesn’t block other vehicles.
