Blackfoot Landfill is the county landfill out by State Road 64 in Winslow, used by local residents and commercial haulers hauling final-disposal loads. It's the place where trash gets buried rather than sorted, so expect large truck traffic and a working industrial site feel.
Drive in off 64 and pull up to an entrance booth and scale area - most landfills weigh vehicles on the way in and out, so plan for a brief stop. After weighing you'll be directed to the active tipping area, which is gravel and usually surrounded by large earth mounds and machinery. Vehicles back up to a drop-off edge to dump; then return to the scale for the exit weigh. Lines get noticeably longer on weekend mornings and during spring cleanups, so there can be a short wait to get to the tip area.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp and straps; loose debris can fly off on the approach and may be turned away at the scale.
- Have vehicle or county identification handy - many landfills check residency or require permits for certain loads.
- Bring full-sized pickup or trailer loads rather than many small trips to save time in the queue; larger commercial loads are handled there but expect the site to feel industrial.
