Creek County Dump & Landfills (Sapulpa & Sand Springs, Oklahoma) — Hours, Payment & Recycling
Creek County doesn't run a public dump of its own. The landfill most Sapulpa and Sand Springs residents use is the privately run American Environmental Landfill just off Highway 412 at North 177th West Avenue, open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
It takes cards only, no cash or checks. Recycling in the county runs on drop-off containers and two scrap buyers, and Sapulpa residents can get a voucher to use Tulsa's household hazardous waste facility.

A construction and demolition debris landfill on the state's permitted list. We couldn't find posted hours, rates or a public phone number, so it isn't a sure bet for household trash. For a guaranteed drop-off, use the American Environmental Landfill.
American Environmental Landfill takes regular household trash and construction debris, plus special and industrial waste that has been profiled with the landfill ahead of time. It doesn't take radioactive, PCB, infectious or hazardous waste, so paint thinner, pesticides and pool chemicals have to go to a hazardous waste collection instead.
Pay with a card at the scale office. On a heavy load (more than 2,000 pounds) the office keeps your card and ID while you unload. If you're unloading by hand, get there by 4:30 p.m. on weekdays or 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. The landfill turns its methane into electricity for more than 20,000 Oklahomans.
