McKenzie County Landfill

McKenzie County Landfill is the county landfill out by Arnegard that locals and haulers use when trash needs to go to the final burial area. Farmers with trailers, local contractors, and households with big cleanup loads all end up here at some point. Winters in North Dakota can change how things run, so plan around seasonal conditions.

There’s a manned entrance booth and a vehicle scale-drivers will usually stop at the scale and again on the way out because tipping fees are charged by weight. The site looks like a typical rural landfill: large earthen cells and compacted mounds, with room to maneuver trucks and trailers. Commercial loads are accepted at county landfills like this, so expect to see pickups, pickups with trailers, and dump trucks. Expect some waiting at busy times; the driveway and scale area are the pinch points.
