J Bar J Landfill

A rural landfill out on Rd W E N just outside Brule, NE. Used by local residents and commercial haulers when trash needs to be buried, it's a working site more than anything fancy. Expect big dirt piles, trucks coming and going, and a no-frills, practical setup.

Pull onto a gravel drive and head toward the entrance booth and scale area-trucks are commonly weighed in and then again on the way out, since tipping fees at landfills are generally charged by weight. The ground is mostly dirt and gravel with heavy equipment moving material and obvious dumping spots once directed. Lines can build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for a wait if timing is busy. Bring a tarp for loose loads and be prepared for dusty or muddy conditions depending on the weather.
