Williston Municipal Landfill

Williston Municipal Landfill, 5176 134th Ave NW, Williston, 58801, North Dakota

This is the municipal landfill out on 5176 134th Ave NW in Williston. Folks from around town-homeowners with pickups, people with trailers, and local contractors-use it when trash needs to be buried rather than recycled. The site is large and feels like a working yard with heavy equipment moving dirt and waste piles visible from the road.

Drive in from 134th and pull toward the entrance area where there’s a small intake point and a weigh scale; loads are typically weighed so expect to stop again on the way out. Gravel roads lead through the site, with berms, open cells and loaders shifting material; dress for dust or mud depending on the season. Drop-off bins or recycling areas are usually set off to the side near the entrance, and larger trucks have space to maneuver. Weekends, especially spring cleanup, get busier, and winter weather can make the access road icy or slow things down.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loads tight-wind and loose gravel can scatter stuff on the drive and when dumping.
  • If towing a trailer, have someone spot for backing; the turns are on gravel and can be awkward.
  • Avoid peak weekend/spring cleanup times if possible, and allow extra time in winter when the road can be slick and operations may run slower.
