A working landfill on the south side of Rapid City that handles both household and larger commercial loads. Locals, farmers and contractors from several counties drop off here when dumpsters or transfer stations aren't practical.

The site is big and mostly open, with compacted berms and active cells rather than a tidy transfer-yard feel. Trucks and trailers are the norm; expect slower-moving heavy equipment and places to pull off and sort before dumping.

- Make space on the trailer for unloading: backing up to the working area is easier with a clear plan and someone to guide the hitch.
- Weekends and spring cleanup see the longest waits; a weekday morning trip usually moves faster.
