Pierre City Landfill is the regional landfill on the east side of Pierre that handles household trash and larger commercial hauls from surrounding counties. Locals, contractors, and farmers all bring loads here - it’s the place where stuff gets buried rather than sorted. The site is big enough to take heavy trucks and steady commercial traffic.
Drive to 2800 E Park St and pull up to the entrance booth and scale; tipping is done by weight so there’s a weigh-in/ weigh-out process. The yard has large dirt mounds and heavy equipment moving material, with a clear area to pull in, unload, and move away. Commercial loads are common here alongside residential drop-offs, so expect trucks and trailers. Plan for a short stop at the scale and then a slower slow-down while positioning to tip.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home - wind can make a mess, and it’s easier to unload when things aren’t blowing everywhere.
- Allow extra time on weekends and during spring cleanup; lines and waits get noticeably longer when lots of people show up.
- Have an idea of how the trailer or truck will back in and out so unloading goes quickly; big trucks need space and sometimes assistance with positioning.
