Solid Waste Agency of NW NE

Small county-style solid waste facility serving Chadron and the surrounding agricultural area. Local homeowners, ranchers and small haulers drop off household trash, yard debris and recyclables here. It’s the kind of place used by people clearing out barns or doing seasonal cleanups.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale on site, so plan to slow down and follow the traffic flow through the yard. Vehicles pull up to a tipping area and then circle back over the scale, so expect a brief wait if someone is unloading. The site looks utilitarian - gravel lots, roll-off containers and piles of brush or clean fill rather than a landscaped campus. On busy weekends and during spring cleanup the line can get long, with pickups and farm trucks sharing the lanes.
