Elk City Municipal Landfill

Elk City Municipal Landfill is the city dump for Elk City and the surrounding rural area, where trash and bulky items get buried. Both homeowners with pickup loads and commercial haulers use it, since municipal landfills handle larger, long-term disposal needs. Expect a big, working site rather than anything pretty-lots of dirt, equipment, and piles of compacted material.

Drive up to an entrance booth and you’ll most likely cross a scale; tipping fees are charged by weight and often differ for residential versus commercial loads. After weighing, vehicles are routed to a tipping pad or cell where you unload while heavy machinery moves and covers material. The site is large and open, with gravel roads, traffic from roll-off trucks and dump trailers, and occasional lines during busy periods. Bring a tarp or straps and be ready to secure your load before pulling in.
