Menomonie City Landfill is the city’s landfill on Gilbert Creek Road where household and larger loads get buried. Locals, contractors and haulers use this spot when recycling or drop-off options aren’t suitable. It’s the kind of place that’s busy on cleanup weekends and calmer midweek.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be ready to stop - there’s a scale so loads are typically weighed and tipping fees applied, meaning expect to halt again after dumping for the outbound weigh. The site is large and open, with piles and cells visible from the working area; follow the attendants’ directions for where to unload and where recycling or bulky-item staging might be. Pull-up areas are paved and set to handle big rigs as well as pickup trucks, so commercial loads are commonly handled here alongside residential vehicles.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads secured with a tarp for the drive in; loose debris can lead to extra stops or being turned away.
- Bring paperwork or ID in case it’s needed for commercial drops - big loads usually get a different check-in process than a single trunk load.
- Avoid weekend mornings during spring cleanup if possible; lines form and traffic can back up at the entrance.
