Minot City Landfill is the city dump out on 33rd Street SW that both residents and commercial haulers use to get rid of trash. It’s a large, working landfill-trucks, trailers and pickup loads are common on any given day. Winters in North Dakota can affect access and pace, so expect the place to feel different by season.
There’s a scale/scale house near the entrance where vehicles stop to be weighed, so plan for a short queue and a second stop on the way out after unloading. The site is open and spread out with haul roads, piled cells, and heavy equipment moving about; drive slow and follow flaggers or signs. Commercial loads are handled there, and tipping fees are charged by weight rather than by load type. Lines can get long on weekends and during spring cleanup, and the ground can be dusty or muddy depending on weather.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and tie-downs so nothing blows out while driving to or from the site.
- Have paperwork or any required permits handy in the cab so the process at the scale goes faster.
- Give large trucks plenty of room when entering or exiting; visibility can be limited and haul roads are narrow.
