Lemmon City Landfill

207 1st Ave W, Lemmon, SD 57638

(605) 374-5641

Lemmon City Landfill is the county landfill just outside of Lemmon used by residents and haulers from the surrounding rural area. It’s the kind of place where people drop off household junk, construction debris, and commercial loads from nearby towns. Since it’s a regional landfill, expect it to handle bigger trucks and heavier loads than a small transfer station.

There’s a vehicle scale to stop on - tipping fees are charged by weight, so most people stop on the scale both entering and leaving. Pull up to the attendant booth area first, then follow the signs or traffic to the working face or drop-off pad where material is buried. The site is large and open, with dirt roads and earthworks; mud can be an issue after rain and trailers dumping loose loads can get messy. Weekends and spring cleanup tend to be busier, so there can be lines for the scale or dumping lanes.

Before You Go

  • Secure loads with tarps and straps; loose debris can fall off on the way in and make unloading slower.
  • Plan for a scale stop both coming in and going out - the fee is weight-based, so lighter return trips save money.
  • If bringing a commercial truck or trailer, allow extra time for paperwork and staging; regional landfills like this commonly accept commercial loads and handle larger equipment.
