Loup Central Landfill Association is the county landfill out by Elba that farmers and local haulers use when the transfer stations get full. Small-town, practical place - mostly tractor trailers, pickup loads and roll-offs dropping off for burial. It handles final disposal rather than short-term staging or recycling.
Drive up State Hwy 11 and you'll see an entrance booth and a scale; trucks go over the scale and tipping fees are calculated by weight. The site is big enough for commercial trucks, so expect semi traffic and room to maneuver, with compacted rows of burial cells and cover dirt visible. Pull into the booth lane first to check in, then follow signs or staff direction to the dumping area and back over the scale on the way out. The yard is dusty in dry weather and sloppy after rain, so vehicles often leave with mud on the tires.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose loads with a tarp before hitting the highway-the wind will make a mess and locals don’t appreciate scattered debris on the road.
- Plan around spring cleanup and harvest times; lines and wait times climb sharply on weekends and after big storms.
- Have paperwork or load information handy for the scale booth so checking in moves quickly, especially with commercial loads.
