Lac qui Parle Demolition Landfill is the local place where demolition and other trash gets buried - used by contractors and folks hauling big loads. The site is a true landfill in scale, handling heavier, commercial-type deliveries as well as residential drops.
There’s a scale and a small booth near the entrance where vehicles stop to be weighed, so expect to pull up, get weighed, and then pull through to unload. Big dirt roads and open tipping areas are the norm; trucks usually back in to dump and then drive off to the scale again for final weight. Fees are set by weight, and commercial haulers commonly use this spot, so larger loads are routine and the place can feel busy at times. Winter weather in Minnesota affects how things run, so the yard can get muddy or icy and operations may be slower on cold days.
