City of Fargo Landfill
City of Fargo Landfill, 4501 7th Avenue North, Fargo, 58102, North Dakota
City of Fargo Landfill at 4501 7th Avenue North is Fargo’s primary landfill for both residential cleanups and commercial haulers. It’s a large, working site used by homeowners, contractors, and dump trucks from around town.
When you pull in there’s a scale and an entrance booth; fees are charged by weight so expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out. The tipping area is a big open pad with heavy equipment moving around, and trucks usually back up to dump so give plenty of room. The site looks like a wide expanse of mounded soil and working faces rather than neat bins, and there’s a steady mix of private vehicles and commercial rigs. Cold North Dakota winters can affect how the place runs, and weekends-especially spring cleanup season-tend to get backed up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps; loose material can blow out or make unloading take longer.
- Sort and stage items in the truck or trailer before you get there so dumping is quicker-separate bulky pieces from loose debris.
- Aim for weekdays or early mornings if possible, and allow extra time on weekends and during spring cleanup since lines build up.
