City of Malta Landfill

City of Malta Landfill, 2124 Short Oil Road, Malta, 59538, Montana

City of Malta Landfill is the town dump on Short Oil Road (2124) where residents and commercial haulers bring material that won’t fit in curbside service. It’s a plain municipal landfill - the kind of place where trash gets buried and covered as the final step. Folks from around Malta come here when they need to get rid of big loads or construction debris.

Expect a drive-on scale at the entrance and an area to pull up and tip; tipping fees at landfills like this are commonly charged by weight and often have a minimum, so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out. Pull onto the scale straight-on, move to the active tipping face to unload, then return to the scale if required. The site is mostly dirt and gravel with compacted piles and truck traffic; lines can build up on weekends and during spring cleanup. Trucks and trailers do most of the work here - bring something you can open and get to the load quickly.

Before You Go

  • Secure loads with a tarp and straps; wind on the plains will dump loose trash everywhere if it’s not tied down.
  • Sort big items before getting out - keeping bulky stuff and loose trash separated speeds unloading and keeps things moving.
  • Try for a weekday morning if possible; weekends and spring cleanup draw the longest lines and add a lot of wait time.
