Flathead County Landfill on Disposal Rd in Kalispell is the county dump where household trash and commercial loads get buried. Neighbors, remodeling crews, and local haulers all use it - not a drop‑off center, but the place things end up in the ground.
Pull in and there’s a scale and an entrance booth; most vehicles stop to be weighed and then move on to the working face to unload. The site is large and rough - dirt roads, big mounds, and heavy equipment are the norm, so keep an eye out for backing trucks. Tipping fees are generally charged by weight at landfills and the county’s rates vary; commercial loads are handled there too. Weekends and spring cleanup bring lines, so expect slow-moving traffic at peak times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Make sure loads are tarped and tied down before hitting Disposal Rd - loose debris can blow off during the weigh‑in/drive‑through.
- Bring help or tools for bulky items; the tipping area is uneven and large pieces sometimes need breaking down or a hand to get off the truck.
- Stay back from compactors and loaders, watch where trucks are backing, and be prepared for dusty, muddy patches depending on weather.
