By City of Alliance
ALLIANCE, Neb. – The City of Alliance Landfill continues to provide essential waste management services for our community, ensuring convenience, safety, and environmental responsibility.
What We Do: So far in 2025, the Landfill has processed 10,160 loads, totaling 25,438,420 pounds of material. We accept:
-Household trash
-Construction materials
-Metal and concrete
-Trees and compostable materials
Natural Items like rocks, tree branches, and grass are free for residents (non-commercial only). Residents can also cut firewood for free – just check in at the scale house. Our team of seven dedicated employees operates with heavy equipment including a dozer, loader, excavator, skid steer, compactor, baler and burn boxes to keep operations efficient and safe.
Why are Rates Increasing?: A recent rate study by SCS Engineers showed that current rates do not cover rising costs such as:
-Engineering and permitting
-Construction of a new Landfill cell in 3 years
-Groundwater monitoring and methane emission testing
-Labor, equipment repairs, and fuel
-Compliance with State and Federal regulations
To maintain safe, compliant, and sustainable operations, the study recommended a 35 percent increase, which the City Council will phase over two years.
