Landfill
Bluff Road Landfill
Bluff Road Landfill, 6001 Bluff Road, Lincoln, 68517, Nebraska
Bluff Road Landfill, over on Bluff Road in Lincoln, is the large municipal landfill where city and commercial trash ends up. Neighbors and haulers bring loads that don’t fit curbside pickup. The place is big and active, with heavy equipment moving earth and compacted trash piles rising up like small hills.
Drive in past an entrance booth and cross a scale-landfills commonly charge by weight so expect to stop again on exit. The site is mostly open dirt and cover material, with designated tipping areas and heavy loaders working; watch for trucks coming and going. Pull up to a spot to dump or unload and spread loads out so they don’t tangle with debris. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a wait.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps; wind and the drive can kick loose debris and make cleanup take longer.
- Sort out recyclables, metals, and brush ahead of time-separating materials before arrival usually speeds the process.
- Wear sturdy boots and gloves and be ready for uneven, muddy ground near the tipping zones.
