Kearney Area Solid Waste Agency Landfill

Kearney Area Solid Waste Agency Landfill is the city landfill out on W 56th Street used by homeowners, haulers and commercial trucks. It’s where local garbage and construction debris ends up - people from Kearney and nearby towns bring regular household loads and larger commercial loads here.

There’s a scalehouse/entrance booth and vehicles are weighed, since tipping fees at landfills like this are generally charged by weight and often have different rates or procedures for residential versus commercial loads. Pull up to the booth, then drive out to the active cell or transfer area and unload onto a gravel or dirt pad; heavy equipment moves around, so keep clear. The site looks industrial: mounded landfill cells, fenced perimeter and compacted working surfaces, and it gets dusty when dry or muddy after rain. Expect lines at peak times - weekends and spring cleanup season commonly back things up.
