DMC Landfill

Helping protect our environment in SE Iowa since 1990!

Des Moines County Landfill

Our sanitary landfill takes in approximately 200 tons of garbage per day from the commission's member communities.

All loads entering and leaving this facility need to be tarped or secured to stop litter from leaving the load. A $10.00 fee will be added to each load that is not secured or tarped. This fee will raise in $10.00 increments for each offence.
