A county landfill out on Old Lincoln Highway that locals and small haulers use to tip household and commercial trash. It’s the kind of place trucks and trailers line up for, not a drop-off center for a quick bag of garbage.
There’s a weigh scale and an attendant booth near the entrance, so trucks will stop, get weighed, and then pull into the main dumping area. The property is large with rolling cells and berms; expect to drive a short distance from the gate to the active tipping face. Commercial loads are taken here alongside residential deliveries, and charges are typically collected based on weight rather than per-bag. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so a bit of waiting is normal.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose material before leaving home - wind can scatter debris on the drive in.
- Have proof of residency or business paperwork handy since county landfills often require identification for certain loads.
- Bring a plan for separating bulky items in the vehicle so unloading at the tipping area goes faster and safer.
