Hazardous waste
No general HHW acceptance verified at this landfill. Do not put chemicals, oil or hazardous items into self-hauler dumpsters merely because a garbage fee is listed.

Other notes
- Use the actual landfill in New London, not the county-office footer address at 400 Benson Avenue SW in Willmar. Actual 2026 fee PDF was read, including total-charge rows rather than just base tipping fees.
- Dedicated construction/demolition facility closed effective January 1, 2026. The actual notice says commercial-hauler/contractor demolition loads no longer accepted after December 31, 2025. It does not clearly resolve every homeowner repair load; call, and do not assume a currently open demolition recycling landfill.
- All loads must be covered/secured. Only four-wheel-drive vehicles with working dump/tipping bodies or trailers may enter working areas; all others must use self-hauler dumpsters near the scale. No hand-unloading in the working area.
- Staff and equipment cannot help unload. Children under twelve must remain inside vehicles. No scavenging/salvaging, smoking or approaching heavy equipment. Follow designated tipping areas and staff instructions.
- Older waste-acceptance links on the county page do not override the actual 2026 demolition closure or current rates. No general household hazardous waste intake is asserted at the landfill.
