Valley City Public Works is the local spot where residents drop off household and yard debris and other common community refuse. People from town and nearby rural farms use it for regular disposal and seasonal cleanups, so expect a mix of pickup trucks and trailers.
Drive up to a small entrance area with an attendant booth and pull forward to speak with someone or wait for direction; the booth is hard to miss. The site is an open lot with piles or containers for different types of material and a few lanes to pull alongside them. Vehicles with trailers can usually find space to maneuver, though larger loads may take an extra minute to position. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there can be a short wait before getting to the drop-off point.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads secured and tarp-covered so debris doesn’t blow out while waiting or driving through town.
- Bring help for heavy items - it’s easier unloading with another person and less time spent blocking traffic lanes.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings or the first warm weekend in spring if possible; weekday afternoons tend to be quieter.
