Minot City Landfill sits out on 20th Ave SW and is where residents and businesses from Minot and the surrounding area haul their trash for final burial. Locals bring everything from household trash to larger commercial loads, and the place looks like what it is: big, open, and built for heavy trucks.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop at a scale - tipping fees are charged by weight so expect to weigh in and weigh out. The site has large paved and gravel drives with piles of compacted material and open disposal cells; snow and mud can make parts of the yard messy in winter. Pull up to the working area when directed, dump or unload where told, then head back to the scale to finish the process.

Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads before leaving home so nothing blows out on the road; loose debris will get noticed and can slow you down.
- Allow extra time on weekends and during spring cleanup - lines and delays are common when everyone is unloading.
- Dress for the weather and bring sturdy footwear; the yard can be rough and cold winds hit hard in winter.
