Circular Butte Sanitary Landfill

Circular Butte Sanitary Landfill, 1571 N 800 E, Terreton, 83450, Idaho

Circular Butte Sanitary Landfill at 1571 N 800 E is the landfill people from Terreton and nearby areas use to have trash buried. Trucks, trailers and residential loads show up here - it’s a working landfill with a big footprint. Expect a gritty, utilitarian place rather than anything tidy or fancy.

There’s a scale and entrance booth where vehicles stop to be weighed; tipping fees are charged by weight, and there are usually different rates for residential versus commercial loads. Pull up to the booth/scale first, then you’ll be directed to the active tipping area to unload and head back to the scale to finish. The site is large, with earthen mounds and heavy equipment moving around, so watch for dusty roads and uneven ground. Because state and facility rules affect what’s accepted, exact materials and fee details vary locally.

Before You Go

  • Secure loose loads with a tarp before coming - wind and gravel make loose trash a headache once on site.
  • Plan extra time for the scale and tipping process; the ticketing/weight stops add a couple of minutes to each visit.
  • Avoid weekend afternoons and spring-cleanup peaks if possible; lines and wait times build up quickly.
