A neighborhood dump used by Papillion residents and small contractors for everyday trash drops and cleanup runs. It sits in town and handles local residential and light commercial loads rather than large regional hauling.
Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and lane for trucks and trailers; larger rigs can pull in but maneuvering is tighter than at big regional landfills. Expect to cross a scale on the way in or out since many local dumps charge by weight, and there’s usually a short stop to report what’s being dropped. The site looks like a typical transfer/dump yard-piles of mixed material, concrete or brush areas off to the side at some places, and a clear traffic flow for drop-off and exit. Weekends fill up, especially during spring cleanup, so lines and waiting vehicles are common.

Before You Go
- Tie down and cover loose materials before driving; wind can make a mess on the highway and on the way into the site.
- Bring helpers or plan for quick unloading-having people ready to toss items speeds things up and reduces time spent blocking the lane.
- Use a smaller truck or trailer if possible; tighter turns and limited backing room make reversing a long trailer tougher than at larger landfills.
