The Nebraska Public Power District location at the District Opr Ctr in Thedford is a small-town site for local disposal needs. Neighbors from town and nearby ranches bring routine household and community waste here. It feels more like an operations yard than a city transfer station.
The site looks like a working yard with gravel drives, a few utility buildings, and places to pull up and unload. Pull into the first clearing or small booth area to read posted instructions or get pointed where to go. Some facilities like this have a scale and charge by weight or per load, so expect a short stop before leaving. Watch for pickup trucks, trailers and occasional heavy equipment moving slowly through the yard.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring sturdy gloves and a tarp; the ground is dusty and loose debris can get everywhere.
- Secure everything on trailers and truck beds - wind and bumping over gravel will spill unfastened loads.
- Sort bulky items from loose trash before pulling in so unloading goes faster; weekends (especially spring cleanup) tend to be the busiest times.
