Fort Hall Mine Landfill

Fort Hall Mine Landfill on 1500 N. Fort Hall Mine Road is the Pocatello landfill where bigger household cleanouts and commercial hauls end up buried. Trucks, trailers and lots of loose dirt are what people usually expect to see here.

The site is large and open, with packed dirt roads, visible cover dirt piles and active tipping faces. There’s typically a scale and an entrance booth where vehicles are weighed before heading to the dumping area; landfills commonly use tipping fees charged by weight or by load, and commercial haulers are often handled on a different fee schedule. Pull up slowly, watch for heavy equipment and larger trucks, and be ready for dust and noise. Weekends - and especially spring cleanup season - tend to back up traffic, so weekday visits are usually quicker.
