Glenns Ferry Landfill

Glenns Ferry Landfill sits just off I‑84 at the Hwy 30 interchange and gets traffic from neighborhood pickups to contractor rigs hauling loads from around the area. It's the county-type landfill where trash is buried rather than recycled on site. Idaho's environmental rules cover fees and what can be accepted, so those details vary by location.

Expect a typical landfill setup with a gate/booth and a scale - trucks are usually weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight, often with minimums and different rates for commercial loads. After the booth, drivers are directed to the working face or unloading pad where heavy equipment is operating and dirt piles are visible. The yard gets dusty in summer and sloppy when it rains, and traffic can stack up on weekends and during spring cleanup. Commercial loads are commonly handled at landfills, but they are often billed differently than residential trips.
