Small-town disposal site right off Detweiller Drive in Grafton, used by locals dropping off household and farm refuse. People from town and nearby farms bring trailers and pickup loads here, especially during cleanups. Winters in North Dakota can make runs trickier, so plan for cold and occasional delays.
A simple entrance with a booth and a scale area where vehicles pull up and get weighed - expect to stop there before and after unloading. The property is mostly open piles and a few large containers, so drivers back up to the appropriate spot to dump. Surfaces can be gravel or packed dirt, and in bad weather it gets muddy or icy, so take it slow. Lines are common on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan extra time if arriving then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home; wind can scatter debris while driving or at the site.
- Bring someone to help unload larger items - trailers and bigger pickups are awkward to maneuver alone.
- Aim for a weekday morning if possible to avoid the weekend rush and long wait times.
