Mercer County Regional Landfill

Mercer County Regional Landfill, 5251 Co Rd 26, Hazen, 58545, North Dakota

Mercer County Regional Landfill sits out on County Road 26 near Hazen and handles the heavier loads that come from farms, contractors and local residents. Trucks and trailers are a common sight here, so expect a working, no-frills site rather than anything tidy or landscaped.

Drive in off Co Rd 26 and you'll likely see a small entrance area and a scale - regional landfills of this size usually charge by weight, so most vehicles stop twice. The site is broad with open cells, piles of cover dirt and the usual summer dust or winter snowbanks depending on the season. Commercial haulers turn up regularly; for big jobs this place handles higher-volume loads compared with city drop-off options. Traffic can back up at busy times, and surfaces are often gravel or packed dirt rather than paved.

Before You Go

  • Have loads tarped and roughly sorted before pulling up to make unloading quicker and less messy.
  • Expect delays during spring cleanup and weekends, and remember winters bring snow and ice that can slow access and change how the site looks.
  • Plan around weight-based tipping fees - commercial haulers use this site often, so factor per-weight charges into any job estimate.
