Butler County Landfill Inc.

Butler County Landfill sits out on Road R just outside David City and is where local residents, contractors and small businesses bring larger loads that won't fit curbside. It's the place trash ends up buried, so expect a working, industrial site rather than anything tidy. People use it for household cleanouts, farm brush and construction debris.

Drive up a gravel lane to a small entrance booth and a truck scale; tipping fees at county landfills are typically charged by weight, so drivers usually weigh in before dumping and again on the way out. The tipping area is open, with heavy equipment and piles of material visible in the distance, and the surface is mostly gravel or dirt. Many landfills accept commercial loads, though exact rules and fees vary by facility, so bring any business or vehicle paperwork that may be relevant. Weekends-especially spring cleanup time-tend to be the busiest, so expect some wait time then.
