City of Minot Landfill

City of Minot Landfill, 20th Avenue SW, Minot, 58701, North Dakota

City of Minot Landfill on 20th Avenue SW is the municipal landfill Minot folks and local haulers use to dispose of trash that can't go in regular pickup. Residents and contractors both show up here, so expect a mix of personal trucks and commercial rigs.

There’s a small entrance booth and a scale - vehicles are weighed, so be prepared to stop on the way in and again when leaving. Pull up on the gravel drive; larger trucks tend to stage to the side while smaller rigs head to the tipping area. The site looks like any working landfill: big soil-covered mounds, heavy equipment moving material, and rough roads. Keep in mind North Dakota winters affect operations, so things can be slower or messier when it’s very cold or snowy.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loads well so nothing blows out on the drive; windy days and spring cleanup season make loose debris a real nuisance.
  • Plan for the scale stop - driving over to be weighed in, dumping, then weighing out is normal, so allow a little extra time per trip.
  • Try to avoid peak times like weekend mornings and spring cleanup weekends if possible, and expect commercial trucks to take up more space and slow traffic.
