A working landfill on the edge of town where Williston households and businesses drop off haul that gets buried. It’s the big, open site at 5176 134th Ave NW that handles both residential and commercial loads, and most people who bring trailers or roll-offs use it for final disposal.
There’s a scale you drive across so trucks get weighed - tipping fees are charged by weight rather than by item. Pull up to the entrance booth area to be directed where to go, then follow the haul roads out to the active cells where material is tipped. The site is mostly gravel and dirt, so expect dust in summer and mud or rutted spots in thaw or wet conditions. You’ll see piles of compacted cover dirt and heavy equipment working the cells; traffic can back up when pickup trucks and commercial trucks arrive together.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps to secure loose loads - wind and road spray are common and crews may require loads to be covered before entry onto public roads.
- Leave a bit of extra time on weekends or during spring cleanup; lines form when multiple trucks are waiting to get weighed and emptied.
- Wear sturdy boots and clothes that can get dirty; the unloading area is active and surfaces are rough, especially after thaw or snowmelt.
