Franklin County Landfill

2655 N 2200 E, Preston, ID 83263

(208) 852-2113

Franklin County Landfill is the county dump out on Landfill Road in Metamora, where household and larger loads end up being buried. Neighbors, landscapers and small haulers all use it; it's the kind of place people drive to when curbside pickup or convenience centers won't take what they have.

Drive in past an entrance booth and you'll likely be directed onto a scale - landfills commonly charge tipping fees by weight, so expect a weigh-in on the way in or out. The site itself is wide open with rows of compacted cells and dirt roads, and there’s room to turn a trailer around if needed. Plan on stopping at the booth and then pulling up to the dumping area; after dropping off, most folks head back across the scale before leaving. Weekends and spring cleanup days can get busy, so there may be a line of trucks waiting to get on the scale.

Before You Go

  • Cover and secure loads before the trip - loose material can blow off and slow down unloading.
  • Bring any paperwork or vehicle info if hauling for a business; commercial loads are commonly accepted at county landfills and may be handled differently than residential trips.
  • Allow extra time on Saturdays and during spring cleanup; arriving midweek or early in the morning usually moves faster.
