Monticello City Landfill

Monticello City Landfill is the town’s landfill off US-491 where household trash and commercial loads are taken to be buried. Locals, landscapers and haulers use it when material needs final disposal. It’s a working site rather than a tidy drop-off - expect practical, no-frills surroundings.

Drive in from US-491 toward the marked entrance; there’s typically an entrance booth and a vehicle scale so plan for a couple of stops as trucks are weighed. The ground is mostly dirt and gravel with active dumping areas and heavy equipment moving about, so watch your footing and give big vehicles plenty of room. Tipping fees are charged (landfills commonly bill by weight or per load), and commercial loads are usually accepted though they often have different billing than residential loads. Pull up where directed, unload, then cross the scale again for the final weight.
