Holdrege Prairie Hill Landfill

Holdrege Prairie Hill Landfill is the local landfill on 13th Street in Holdrege where residents and local haulers bring trash that gets buried. Small pickups, trailers and contractor trucks all mix in here - it’s a working site rather than a transfer or recycling center. The place handles both household loads and larger commercial deliveries common to county landfills.

Expect to cross a scale on the way in; tipping fees at facilities like this are typically charged by weight, so plan for a weigh-in and weigh-out stop. Pull up to the small entrance/scale area and then follow the drive out to the active tipping face - the surface is usually gravel and there are large capped mounds and compacted cells to one side. Recycling drop-off bins, when present, are often just past the entrance to the right. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up, so allow extra time.
