Fargo City Landfill is the city’s main place to bury household and commercial trash, out on 7th Ave N. Locals and haulers drop off everything from pickup loadouts to big commercial trailers, and the site uses a scale and tipping fees rather than flat per-trip pricing.
Drive in toward the small entrance booth and be prepared to stop on a scale - there’s a weigh-in and weigh-out so loads are charged by weight. The property is large and exposed; expect wide dirt roads, piles of cover material and open cells where trash gets spread and buried. Lines can build up, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup, and winter conditions often mean icy or muddy approaches.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads well so nothing blows off during the drive; loose debris is a common hassle for other drivers.
- Try for a midweek, early-morning trip to avoid long queues; afternoons and Saturdays get busy.
- Bring footwear and a vehicle that can handle mud or ice - the driveways are unpaved in spots and get rough in thaw or freeze conditions.
