Fargo City Solid Waste Department

Fargo City Solid Waste Department is the municipal drop-off for household trash, recycling and yard debris used by city residents. Located on 8th Ave N, neighbors bring everything from small bags to pickup loads. The facility sees a mix of quick residential runs and larger curbside-style dropoffs from across Fargo.

Drive up to an entrance with an attendant booth and be prepared to pull forward for direction; there’s a driveway and areas to queue if it’s busy. A vehicle scale and exit stop are common at facilities like this, so expect to stop more than once if bringing a larger load. Recycling bins are usually set off to one side and green waste or bulk drop areas are separate piles or containers. Winter weather in North Dakota can make the site icy or slow-moving, so plan for slower traffic and some snow-cleared lanes.
