Canyon County Landfill in Caldwell is the final burial site for municipal and commercial trash in the area. Locals and haulers use it when trash can’t be dropped at a transfer station or convenience center closer to town.
The place is large-open cells, big dirt mounds and heavy equipment working the tips. There’s a scale and an entrance booth, so plan to slow down and pull up to the scale area; loads are charged by weight with a tipping fee structure rather than a flat per-trip rate. Commercial trucks are accepted alongside residential vehicles, and the traffic flow is geared for big rigs as well as pickups. The surface around the working face and access roads is mostly gravel and can be dusty or muddy depending on the weather.

Before You Go
- Secure tarps and loose material before leaving home-debris blowing out of a load is a hassle and creates extra cleanup.
- Expect lines on weekends and during spring cleanup months; if possible, time trips for quieter weekdays or off-peak hours.
- Use a vehicle with decent clearance and be ready for uneven, gravel roads inside the site; a low car can scrape getting around berms and access ramps.
