(308) 432-4245Whitney Solid Waste Collection Site is the small-town disposal spot on Old Hwy 20 that folks from Whitney and the nearby ranches use for household trash, yard clippings and basic recycling. People drop by with pickup loads, trailers or bags when they need to get rid of everyday junk or do a spring cleanup.
The site sits at the edge of town and feels compact rather than industrial-think a few roll-off containers and recycling bins rather than a big transfer station. Many small county sites have a little entrance point or booth and a scale, so be ready to stop and sort things before pulling into the drop area. Maneuvering can be tight, especially if a couple trucks are unloading at once, and the ground can be dusty or muddy depending on the weather. Weekends and spring cleanup time are the busiest, so plan around that if possible.
