Boundary County Landfill

Boundary County Landfill sits off Hillcrest Road in Bonners Ferry and is where household and larger loads end up being buried. Locals, small haulers, and anyone clearing out a garage use it when trash needs to go beyond curbside pickup. It’s a working landfill - not a recycling drop-off or transfer station.

Drive up to a small scale/booth area and be prepared to stop at a scale; these places typically charge tipping fees by weight so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out. The site is mostly compacted dirt, gravel drives and piles of cover material with heavy equipment moving around, so keep an eye out while maneuvering. Commercial loads are commonly handled at county landfills and are usually processed differently than residential loads, so expect more paperwork or inspection for larger trucks. Weekends and spring clean-up times get the longest lines, and it can be dusty or muddy depending on the season.
