From the City of Springfield's landfill page; the per-ton rate rose from $41.77 to $43.85 on July 1. Clean fill (uncontaminated soil, sand, gravel, concrete, block, asphalt and brick) goes to a separate area and is used on site.

What the landfill won't take
State and federal rules keep these out of Noble Hill: major appliances (washers, dryers, stoves, water heaters, refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners), whole tires, yard waste (leaves, grass, limbs and brush go to the city's Yardwaste Recycling Center), lead-acid batteries, waste oil, liquids, asbestos, vehicle bodies and hazardous waste. The city's online Waste Wizard lists where each item can go instead.
Household chemicals go to the Household Chemical Collection Center, by appointment, for households in Christian, Dallas, Greene, Polk and Webster counties. Fireworks and ammunition go to the fire department.
Missouri law keeps major appliances, car batteries, used oil and yard waste out of landfills, and allows tires only if they're cut, chipped or shredded. Stores that sell tires have to take your old ones back, one for one, when you buy new ones (they can charge a fee).
