Canadian Valley Landfill

Canadian Valley Landfill, 48210 East Independence Street, Shawnee, 74801, Oklahoma

Canadian Valley Landfill on East Independence Street is the local spot where both residents and commercial haulers bring trash to be buried. Big enough to handle heavy truck traffic, it’s the kind of industrial place that looks like working dirt piles and compacted cells rather than a tidy public park.

Drive up to an entrance booth where loads are logged and fees are handled, then cross a weigh scale - tipping fees are charged by weight so expect to stop twice. After weighing, follow the signs or directions to the unloading area; larger trucks have room to maneuver, but smaller rigs may need to back in. The ground is mostly dirt and gravel, so plan for dust and uneven surfaces, and have the truck ready to move when it’s time to be weighed out.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home so nothing blows out on the road or adds delay when they check the load.
  • Bring work gloves and basic tools for cutting straps or breaking down bulky items; unloading can be manual and a bit messy.
  • Avoid weekend and spring-cleanup crowds if possible - weekday mornings tend to move faster and reduce time spent waiting at the scale.
