Mason City Landfill

Mason City Landfill is the county-scale burial site on the edge of Mason that locals and small haulers use for final disposal. People bringing old household junk, construction debris or commercial loads from nearby towns stop here when curbside options won’t do. It’s the kind of place where you’ll see pickup trucks, trailers and roll-offs coming and going.

A drive-up approach with a visible scale booth and a weigh-in/weight-out routine; fees are assessed based on weight, so expect to stop at least twice. The site itself looks like a working landfill - compacted earth, mounded cells and areas where trucks tip loads; larger commercial trucks will pull through the same lane as residential vehicles. There’s usually a staffed gate or booth at the entrance handling paperwork and payments, and traffic can slow down when several trucks are waiting to tip. Be prepared for dusty or muddy conditions depending on recent weather and for vehicles to need space to maneuver while turning and dumping.
