Solid Waste Program

A basic city solid waste site used by Bismarck residents and area rural folks hauling household trash, recycling, and yard debris. Short drive off E Divide, it’s the kind of place people go when clearing out a garage or dropping off curbside overflow. Not fancy, but gets the job done for regular residential loads.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to slow down; there’s usually a checkpoint where attendants will direct traffic. Trucks and trailers line up on a crushed-rock lot and larger roll-off bins sit out in the open, so expect a working-yard look with trucks moving around. Recycling and yard waste areas are typically clustered to one side while general trash containers are in another; follow the flow of traffic and the attendants’ directions. In winter the lot can get icy and piles will be snow-streaked, so take it slow when maneuvering.
