Bennett Road Landfill

Bennett Road Landfill, Bennett Road, East of Mountain Home, Mountain Home, 83647, Idaho

Bennett Road Landfill is the large burial-type landfill out on Bennett Road, a little east of Mountain Home. Locals hauling full truckloads and commercial haulers use it for final disposal rather than recycling or transfer. It feels like the kind of place you go to when the pickup bed is full and needs a proper dump.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale - vehicles pull up, check in at the booth, tip their load, then usually go back across the scale so tipping fees can be calculated by weight or vehicle class. The site is big, with gravel roads, heavy equipment moving around, and visible mounds of compacted fill; expect dust and uneven surfaces. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan extra time if it’s a busy day. Commercial trucks are commonly handled here, so seeing trailers and dump trucks is normal.

Before You Go

  • Secure tarps and loose items before leaving home - windy days make for a mess and things can blow out of open beds.
  • Make the load easy to access and quick to dump; the less fumbling at the tipping area, the faster the whole process goes.
  • Allow extra time on weekends or during seasonal cleanups, and drive slowly on the gravel roads - potholes and ruts are common.
