State rules require every load entering the landfill to be covered or secured so nothing blows or spills on the way. Tires, dirt, rock, concrete, asbestos and contaminated soil carry their own charges; call (785) 826-7395 for those rates.
The city holds one Free Landfill Day a year. In 2026 it was Saturday, April 18, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.: Saline County residents with a Saline County license plate could dump normal household trash free. Vehicles from other counties paid the standard fees, and the gate closed promptly at 2 p.m. even with a line.
Even on the free day, brick, concrete, rock, roofing and construction materials, boats, sheds, trailers and tires paid standard fees, and the landfill turned away cars, batteries, liquids (including paint), hazardous waste, machinery, tanks and anything with Freon.
Special pickups at the curb
City sanitation customers can book a Special Pickup for bags, tree limbs, large appliances (Freon removed), carpet, furniture, tires and boxes at salina-ks.gov/sanitation or (785) 309-5750. It costs $28.75 per call, which covers 15 minutes of loading, then $28.75 per half hour. Residents without city sanitation service can book it too, at $57.50 per call. Tires carry extra fees.
