Huron Landfill is the big county landfill out on 9th Street SE that people and businesses from Huron and the surrounding area use to get rid of household trash and larger commercial hauls. It's the kind of place where trucks are common and loads get buried rather than processed on-site.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and then over a scale; tipping fees are charged at the landfill, and many regional landfills use a scale to weigh arrivals and departures. Pull up to the working face or instructed dumping area when directed, then drive back over the scale before leaving. The site looks like graded dirt roads, compacted cells and berms; expect trucks, loaders and a lot of bare ground rather than buildings or sorting lines. Weekends and spring cleanup can get busy, so there are often lines waiting to get weighed or to reach the dumping spot.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose materials so nothing blows off while driving to and from the site.
- Bring what’s ready to unload in one trip - multiple partial trips mean extra time on the scale and more hassle.
- Plan for delays on weekends and during spring cleanup; larger commercial loads may have separate lanes but still face slowdowns.
