Beaverhead County Landfill

Beaverhead County Landfill sits out on Ten Mile Road in Dillon - the county dump where local homeowners and haulers bring stuff that ends up buried. It’s a large, working site with trucks and machinery moving around, so expect a no-frills, rural facility rather than a tidy transfer station.

Drive in from Ten Mile Road and there’s usually a scale and small entrance booth; many county landfills charge by weight, so plan on being weighed in and out. The active tipping area is a gravel/dirt pad where trucks back up to drop loads and heavy equipment is nearby. Commercial haulers are typically handled differently than residential pickups, often with separate rates or paperwork, so larger loads may move through on a different schedule. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, and the whole place can be dusty and windy.
