Fighting Creek Farm Landfill sits right off U.S. 95 just outside Coeur d'Alene and is where locals haul material they want buried rather than recycled. Residents, small contractors and landscapers use it - it's the usual heavy‑vehicle sort of place. The site looks like a typical regional landfill with big tipping areas and trucks coming and going.
Expect to pull up to a check‑in booth and a scale, since tipping fees at landfills are common and often based on weight or have minimum charges. After check‑in, drivers are usually directed to a specific tipping spot and then unload. The ground is mostly gravel and compacted dirt, with piles of different materials stacked around; dust and diesel smell are part of the scene. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, so waits can happen.
