Small, local disposal site used by residents and farmers around Sawyer and the surrounding rural area. It's the kind of place people swing by with household junk, yard cleanups, or truckloads after a project. Winters can make travel up 247th Ave SE slow, so be ready for seasonal conditions.
Drive up to a clear entrance where there's usually a booth and a drive-over scale - many disposal sites in North Dakota charge by weight, so plan on stopping twice. Pull a trailer or truck up to the drop-off areas; the site is mostly open yard with piles and containers, not a covered dump. Recycling bins tend to sit off to one side past the entrance, with general debris areas laid out beyond them. Weekends and spring cleanup weekends often have a line, and snow can shrink usable space in winter.

Before You Go
- Bring strong gloves and a tarp for loose dirt or broken material so things don't blow out on the drive home.
- Back a trailer or truck close to the piles before unloading-some spots are a short walk from the vehicle and heavy items get awkward fast.
- Expect slower processing in winter and on busy spring weekends; plan for extra time so the vehicle isn't left idling on the road.
