Small-town disposal spot on Prospect Ave N that locals use for household and farm cleanups. It’s the kind of place where pickup trucks and trailers line up and folks drop off everyday trash and bulky items. Mostly used by Park River residents and nearby rural drivers.
Drive up the short driveway and look for a small entrance booth or gate where vehicles usually pause before entering the yard. The site is an open lot with containers and piles rather than a polished facility - expect gravel, compacted dirt, and heavy equipment in the background. Pull up close to the booth or gate to be directed where to unload, then drive through again to exit; movement is slow when a large truck is on site. Weekends and spring cleanups commonly have the longest lines, so bring patience.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose materials - North Dakota wind can scatter lightweight trash on the drive in and out.
- Wear sturdy boots and gloves; the ground can be uneven, muddy in spring, or icy in winter.
- Avoid weekend afternoons if possible; weekdays or early mornings usually move faster during busy seasons.
