Glendive Landfill is the town landfill on E Brennan Street that sees everything from small household pickups to contractor trucks. Locals drop off yard debris, old furniture and construction scrap; commercial haulers come through too.
You'll pull up to an entrance booth and a scale - tipping fees at landfills are typically charged by weight, so expect to be weighed on the way in and again on the way out. After the scale, vehicles are directed to open dumping areas; the site is mostly open dirt with trucks, trailers and piles of covered refuse in plain view. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, so plan extra time. Commercial loads are accepted and are generally charged differently than residential loads, so factor that in when loading up.

Before You Go
- Secure tarps and straps so loose debris doesn't blow off or slow you down at the gate.
- Build in extra time for the weigh-in and for possible queues on weekends or during spring cleanups.
- If hauling large or heavy items, bring a helper or the right tools - getting mattresses or construction debris out of a truck often takes more than one person.
