Great Plains Landfill out off County Road EW125 in Pocasset is where residential folks and commercial haulers drop trash to be buried. It’s a sizable rural landfill with big dirt cells and heavy equipment moving around. Expect a working, no-frills place rather than a tidy public drop-off.
Pull in from the county road and there’s an entrance area with vehicles lining up; a scale is on site so loads are weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight, which usually means a stop on the way out as well. After weighing, vehicles are sent to the active tipping area or stockpiles, so be ready to follow signs or cones and drive on unpaved roads. The site is open and exposed - dusty in dry weather and muddy after rain - with bulldozers, compactors, and piled soil visible from the road. Commercial loads are accepted here, so expect a mix of pickup trucks and larger roll-offs or box trucks.
