New Trial Glass Recycling Program
We now accept clear glass containers for recycling! We do not accept colored glass, metal or plastic lids, windows, cookware, light bulbs, and medicine bottles. If you questions about acceptable items, please call for more information.
Environmental Management System
The landfill received grant funding through the Iowa Department of Natural Resources' Environmental Mangement System program to install LED lighting through the landfill site and buildings. This reduces the landfill's greenhouse emissions from daily operations and energy costs.
Please check the website for updates regarding operations and services before visiting the landfill. All important information will be provided in the Notifications, News, & Events section. Courtesy calls will be made to haulers. Residents should check the website or call.
Out of County Waste
If you are a resident or business from outside Iowa County, you must contact your local landfill for garbage disposal. Iowa rules require garbage to be disposed of in the county it was generated. Click here for the contact information for other landfills in the area.
