(701) 845-4255Valley City Public Works Service Center is the place locals use to drop off household and neighborhood waste. It's mainly for residents of Valley City and nearby rural areas who need a straightforward spot to unload trash and recyclables. Expect a practical, no-frills municipal setup rather than a private transfer station.
Pull into a simple entrance where there's often a small booth or kiosk and a paved drive; many municipal sites have a scale so vehicles may be weighed. Traffic can back up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan a little extra time. Vehicles usually pull up to specific bins or roll-off containers and staff or signs typically point the way to each drop-off spot. The site looks utilitarian - concrete pads, metal containers, and open lots - with winter conditions that can make surfaces icy or slushy.
