Small-city landfill a few miles out of Mandan that serves local residents and commercial haulers. Located on County Road 82, it’s the place trucks and trailers bring final-disposal loads from around the area. Winters can change how things run, so plan for slower travel and heavier footwear in cold months.
Drive up to an entrance area where vehicles are funneled past a scale - tipping fees are typically assessed by weight at landfills of this type, so expect to stop twice if a scale is used. There’s a compact office or booth near the entrance where permits and payments are handled before dumping. The site is mostly open dirt and compacted cells with heavy equipment moving around; take care when backing a trailer and watch for changing ground conditions. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanups, and snow or mud can slow traffic flow.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads well; loose trash or wet materials can blow or shift during the drive and when dumping.
- Bring proper tie-downs and a tarp if hauling in windy or snowy weather - the site surface can be slick or rutted after storms.
- Allow extra time on weekends, early spring, and in winter; plan for slower entry and exit so a short trip doesn’t become a long wait.
