Sidney Landfill

Sidney Landfill is the regional landfill just outside Sidney that local residents and farmers use when trash and large cleanups need a final resting place. Big pickup loads and commercial trucks come through as well; this is where material gets buried rather than transferred elsewhere. The site serves the surrounding agricultural area, so expect farm trailers and livestock fencing in the mix.

Drive up a short lane to a scale booth where loads are weighed - tipping fees are charged by weight, so vehicles are weighed coming in and again on the way out. There’s a small office/booth near the entrance for checking in, then pull forward to the tipping face or unloading pad where crews direct traffic. The site is open, dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain, with piles and compacted cells visible from the unloading area. Weekends and spring cleanups tend to be busiest, so lines at the scale are not uncommon.
