Clay Peak Landfill
Clay Peak Landfill, 2560 Highway 52, Payette, 83661, Idaho
Clay Peak Landfill is the local place off Highway 52 where Payette folks bring loads that won't go in curbside pickup. Homeowners with yard debris and contractors with big trucks show up here when it’s time to get rid of bulk trash.
Drive up to an entrance booth, then cross a scale - they charge by weight, so expect to be weighed and billed accordingly. The site is large, with gravel drives, open tipping areas and constant truck traffic; there are visible piles and heavy equipment working the cells. Tipping fees are structured around weight or vehicle class rather than a single flat price, and commercial trucks are a regular sight. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to back up the line.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Expect to be weighed in and out - having the load ready to dump speeds up the process at the scale.
- Secure loose debris with tarps or tie‑downs; wind and passing trucks can scatter lightweight material on the approach road.
- Drive slowly, watch for big trucks, and leave extra room when maneuvering - commercial loads are common and take more space.
