High Plains Sanitary Landfill
High Plains Sanitary Landfill, 142 Powerline Road, Floweree, 59440, Montana
High Plains Sanitary Landfill sits at 142 Powerline Road in Floweree and is the spot trash gets buried for the long term. Folks from around town-homeowners hauling yard debris and drivers with bigger loads-turn up here to get rid of stuff they can’t handle at the curb.
Drive in from Powerline Road and slow down for a scale and entrance booth; landfills like this weigh trucks so plan on stopping in and again on the way out. The active tipping area is an open dirt field with heavy equipment moving and gravel or rutted driving surfaces. Pull into the line of trucks and follow the traffic flow; posted signs commonly mark where to dump. Fees are handled with a tipping-fee structure based on weight, so loads are totaled after weighing.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tarp and secure loose loads before getting on Powerline Road so debris doesn’t spill and entry moves faster.
- Stage the load in the truck bed-remove straps and loosen tarps before you reach the scale so unloading is quicker.
- Skip peak times like weekend afternoons in spring cleanup season if possible; lines and waits can get long.
