Lemhi County Landfill 1
Lemhi County Landfill 1, Landfill Rd, Salmon, 83467, Idaho
Lemhi County Landfill 1 on Landfill Rd in Salmon is the local county landfill where trash and larger loads get buried. Contractors, farmers and anyone hauling big loads use it - it’s the place to bring stuff that won’t fit in a curbside bin.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale, and most county landfills charge tipping fees by weight, so plan on being weighed in and out. Pull up in a single line; trucks and trailers are common and weekends can get backed up. The site is open with dirt roads, mounded cells and machinery moving around, so keep clear of equipment. Commercial loads are typically accepted at county sites, but rules and fees vary locally.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loose material - wind can blow branches and trash during the drive and while unloading.
- If towing a trailer, arrange to drive over the scale in the order the site wants (sometimes before and after unloading), and have straps, gloves and a rake handy to speed unloading.
- Bring proof of residency or business paperwork if claiming residential or commercial billing - county sites often check that before applying the correct fees.
