Belle Fourche Landfill

183 N 8th Ave, Belle Fourche, SD 57717

(605) 892-3530

Small regional landfill on the north edge of Belle Fourche that handles residential and commercial loads from several surrounding counties. Locals and haulers both use it - it’s the place trucks head when curbside or transfer services aren’t available. Don’t expect anything fancy; it’s a working landfill with long drives and open cells.

There’s a scale and a little entrance booth near the driveway - vehicles pull up, get weighed, then drive out to the tipping area and come back across the scale to get a final weight. Fees are assessed by weight, so commercial loads are processed there alongside household drop-offs. The site looks like a typical rural landfill: gravel roads, compacted dirt working faces, and rows of covered cells rather than neat bins. Weekends and spring cleanups get busier, so lines at the scale can form.

Before You Go

  • Bring a trailer tarp or something to cover loose loads - wind and dust are common on the open working area.
  • Have an idea of what’s accepted before you drive out; trucks steer straight for the scale and it’s a hassle to turn around once loaded.
  • Try to visit midweek or early morning to avoid the busiest stretches when commercial trucks and weekend traffic overlap.
