Bismarck Landfill
Bismarck Landfill, 2111 North 52nd Street, Bismarck, 58506, North Dakota
Bismarck Landfill on North 52nd Street is where city trash and larger commercial loads end up. Locals, contractors, and haulers use it for bulky disposals and regular household trash. Winter weather can change how the place runs, so things can feel different in the cold months.
The site is big and obvious from the road - dirt drives, trucks, and earth berms are the main sights. There’s a scale and a small scalehouse/booth near the entrance, and tipping fees are charged by weight, with commercial loads accepted and weighed like everyone else. Pull up to the booth first to get directed, then follow the signs and staff directions to the tipping area; expect to stop on the scale on the way out as well. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so allow extra time if it’s busy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Make sure loose material is covered and tied down; blowing debris is a hassle for everyone and can slow unloading.
- Plan for extra time on weekends, holidays, and spring cleanup - trucks and pickup loads back up the entrance.
- In winter, bring a vehicle that handles snow and ice; cold weather can slow operations and access to parts of the site.
