Billings City Landfill on Jellison Road is the big municipal place where household trash and contractor loads get buried; residents and commercial haulers both use it. The site is what it says on the tin - a working landfill with large cells, bulldozers, and long dirt roads. Expect a practical, no-frills stop when cleaning out a garage or hauling construction debris.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale - landfills commonly charge tipping fees by weight, so plan on stopping to be weighed. After that, traffic is directed to different unloading spots; pickups and small trailers usually have a quicker turnaround than larger commercial trucks. The site is dusty and loud, with big piles of compacted waste and heavy equipment moving earth and trash around. Be prepared to back up or circle to the active unloading face, then head back past the scale to finish up.
