A local dump used by Dickinson residents and area farmers for household cleanups and small loads from pickups and trailers. Short drives from town are common - expect a working, no-frills place rather than a neat transfer station. Winter can make access slower, so the scene changes with the seasons.
Pull up to an entrance area with a small booth or gate where people pause before moving in; there’s often a weigh scale nearby so vehicles stop twice. The site is mostly open lots and large dirt or gravel pads with piles or containers where different loads get dropped. Trucks and trailers line up on weekends and during spring cleanup, and surfaces can be muddy or icy in colder months. Drive carefully through the site, watch for heavy equipment and loose debris underfoot.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps so material doesn’t blow out while waiting in line or driving through the site.
- Bring work gloves, sturdy boots, and eye protection - the ground is uneven and pieces of wood, metal, or glass show up in piles.
- Avoid peak times when possible: early weekday mornings usually move faster than weekend or spring-cleanup afternoons.
