A working landfill on the east side of Ogallala where residential and commercial haulers bring trash to be buried. Rural folks and farmers drop off regular loads here, and commercial trucks use it too. It's the kind of place used by anyone hauling big, heavy loads that won't fit in a curbside can.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and prepare to wait if there's a line; the scale sits right before the tipping area so trucks stop twice. Loads are weighed and fees are based on weight with a minimum charge rather than per-bag pricing. The site is mostly open dirt and compacted cells - expect large berms and rolling piles rather than bins, and commercial vehicles are common on the pad.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads tarped or covered for the drive; loose material can blow off and slow unloading.
- Pull onto the scale carefully and be ready to reweigh on the way out since final charges reflect net weight.
- Avoid weekend mornings in spring and fall if possible - these are peak times and lines back up with farm trucks and spring-cleanup traffic.
