Solid Waste Agency of Northwest Nebraska Landfill

Solid Waste Agency of Northwest Nebraska Landfill, 10 miles N of town on Hwy 385, Chadron, 69337, Nebraska

Get Directions

Small regional landfill about 10 miles north of Chadron on Hwy 385, run by the Solid Waste Agency of Northwest Nebraska. Locals, ranchers and contractors use it when stuff needs to be buried rather than recycled. The road in is obvious from the highway and there’s an entrance booth/scale to stop at.

Pull up to a scalehouse/booth to get weighed-this place uses tipping fees based on weight rather than a flat per-item charge. After weighing in, drivers head to the active tipping pad where you’ll see piles of compacted trash and big equipment moving around. The site is open and mostly gravel; expect heavy trucks, dirt, and a short drive from the highway to the tipping area. Busy weekends and spring cleanup times can mean a line at the booth.

Before You Go

  • Cover and secure loads before leaving home-wind on Hwy 385 will scatter loose stuff and that makes an extra mess to clean up.
  • Have your load sorted (bulky items separated from loose trash) so unloading goes faster and there’s less time spent at the tip-off area.
  • Take it slow on the gravel approach and watch for heavy equipment; low-clearance vehicles should use extra caution getting onto the tipping pad.
