Visit Tips

Prairie SWA is just south of Highway 34—5 miles east of Creston and 5 miles west of Afton. Look for the green Sanitary Landfill sign on the highway. Stop in at the Scale Office at the top of the hill.

If you’re delivering trash, pull up onto the scale on the south side of the building and come in the building through the south door. We’ll fill you in on where to take the things you bring out.
