City of Hardin Landfill
City of Hardin Landfill, 3794 East Sarpy Road, Hardin, 59034, Montana
City of Hardin Landfill on East Sarpy Road is the municipal dump that locals use for household cleanouts and contractor loads. It’s a working landfill with open cells and heavy equipment moving material around. Folks from town and nearby ranches bring trailers, pickups, and roll-offs here.
There’s a scale and an entrance booth - plan to pull up, get waved through to the tipping area, and then cross the scale again on the way out since tipping fees are weight-based or charged per load. The site is mostly dirt roads, piled cells, and trucks coming and going; it feels industrial rather than tidy. Commercial loads are common here and often billed differently than a small residential drop-off, so expect separate pricing for larger hauls.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose material so unloading is quick and doesn’t scatter down the road.
- Avoid weekends in spring if possible - lines and backups are typical during cleanup season.
- Load things in an order that makes dumping faster (heavier stuff toward the back if using a truck bed) so the whole stop goes quicker.
