The Coffey County Sanitary Landfill, owned and operated by Coffey County, is approximately one mile northeast of Burlington. All solid waste is brought to the existing landfill from six incorporated communities by commercial haulers and from rural areas by individual residents. As of 1996, permitted area occupies approximately 40 acres, and receives approximately 15,000 cubic yards of waste per year. 

In December 2001, Coffey County the new Coffey County Landfill was officially opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony.  The first six cells of the new Landfill were completed at an estimated cost of $1,000,000 and has a life expectancy of more than forty years.  Although this phase of the project is completed, this is an on-going project.
