Cherokee Nation Landfill

Cherokee Nation Landfill is the landfill out on Cherokee Nation Landfill Rd in Stilwell where household and larger loads end up being buried. Neighbors, private haulers and commercial trucks use it when they have bulk trash or mixed loads that a curbside pickup won't take. It’s a working landfill - not a neat drop-off center - so expect a big, open site.

When you pull in there’s usually a weigh scale and a small check-in area typical of landfills; fees are generally based on weight under a tipping-fee structure. The site stretches out with dirt roads, heavy equipment moving around, and piles or cells being managed down in the distance. Drive slowly - surfaces can be rutted and dusty, and larger trucks need room to maneuver. Plan on stopping to be weighed and then stopping again after unloading if the facility follows the usual scale-and-ticket routine.
