Lincoln Landfill

A big regional landfill on the south side of Lincoln that mostly handles household and commercial loads from around the county. Farmers and contractors swing through here often, so expect a place built for heavy trucks as much as pickup trucks. It’s the spot where trash actually gets buried rather than transferred elsewhere.

There’s a single entrance road that leads to a weigh scale and an attendant booth; vehicles usually stop at the booth first and then pull onto the scale for a pre- or post-load weigh. The dumping area is out past the scale on a wide gravel pad with heavy equipment moving piles around-lots of compacted dirt and bare slopes. Traffic can bunch up sometimes, especially on weekends or during seasonal cleanups, so plan a little extra time; commercial trucks mix with smaller rigs, so watch for slow turns and load spillage on the approach.
