Dickinson City Landfill

Small city landfill on the east side of Dickinson that handles household and commercial loads from town and the surrounding farms. Vehicles of all sizes come through here-pickup trucks, trailers and roll-offs are common. Winters can make the place slower, so expect a different vibe in January than in July.

A big scale house sits near the entrance, and loads are typically weighed so there’s a stop on the way in and another on the way out. Pull up to the scale booth, follow the flow of traffic toward the tipping area, and watch for compacted sections of the working face where trucks are dumping. The site is mostly open landfill cells and dirt roads; dusty in dry months and muddy after snowmelt. Commercial trucks are a regular sight, and tipping fees are based on weight rather than per-item, so larger loads cost more.
