Cerbat Municipal Solid Waste Landfill

A municipal solid waste landfill on 7300 Mineral Park Rd. where Golden Valley residents and local haulers bring household trash and larger loads for final disposal. This is the kind of site where trash gets buried long-term, so trips are for items that don’t go to recycling or donation centers.

Expect to pull up to an entrance booth and then cross a scale - tipping fees at landfills are typically charged by weight, so plan for a second stop on the way out. The site is mostly big dirt-covered cells and compacted mounds; trucks back up to a tipping area and pickups usually use a nearby pad. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up, so lines and slow-moving traffic are common. Commercial loads are commonly accepted at municipal landfills, but fees and accepted materials vary by location and are overseen at the state level.
