Lewis & Clark County Landfill is the county dump out on Deal Lane that Helena folks use when curbside pickup or smaller haulers won't cut it. It sees a mix of residential traffic and larger trucks; county landfills generally charge tipping fees based on weight. Expect a working, no-frills site rather than anything tidy or landscaped.
Drive up to an entrance booth and you’ll pass a scale, so plan to stop for weighing on the way in and again on the way out since fees are weight-based. Pull far enough forward to give room for backing - trucks and trailers need space to line up with the active tipping area. The grounds are mainly gravel and dirt with heavy equipment moving around and piles or cells of compacted material visible. If recycling or drop-off containers are available they tend to be set off to the side near the entrance.
