Mercer County Regional Landfill sits out on County Road 26 near Hazen and handles the heavier loads that come from farms, contractors and local residents. Trucks and trailers are a common sight here, so expect a working, no-frills site rather than anything tidy or landscaped.
Drive in off Co Rd 26 and you'll likely see a small entrance area and a scale - regional landfills of this size usually charge by weight, so most vehicles stop twice. The site is broad with open cells, piles of cover dirt and the usual summer dust or winter snowbanks depending on the season. Commercial haulers turn up regularly; for big jobs this place handles higher-volume loads compared with city drop-off options. Traffic can back up at busy times, and surfaces are often gravel or packed dirt rather than paved.
