Valentine Area Solid Waste Agency MSW Landfill
Valentine Area Solid Waste Agency MSW Landfill, 39856 Hwy 20, Valentine, 69201, Nebraska
Valentine Area Solid Waste Agency MSW Landfill is the town’s landfill out on Hwy 20, the spot folks use when trash won’t fit in the curbside can. Locals and commercial haulers both bring loads here; it’s a working landfill where material is buried rather than processed for reuse.
Drive up to a gate and a weigh scale; tipping fees are normally based on weight, so vehicles usually get weighed on the way in and again on the way out. There’s typically a small booth or attendant area by the entrance and then a set of bins or drop areas a short drive past that. The active dumping area is outdoors and can be dusty or muddy depending on weather, with equipment and piles visible from the access road. Weekends and spring clean-up periods tend to be the busiest, so expect some wait time at peak moments.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps so nothing blows out on the drive; loose debris makes unloading slower and creates extra mess on the site.
- Keep recyclables separated if possible; most landfills have separate containers or spots for recyclable items rather than mixing them with MSW.
- Plan for extra time on weekends or during spring clean-up, and have a rough idea of vehicle weight (full trailer vs. pickup box) since fees are usually charged by weight.
