Watertown Regional Landfill

Watertown Regional Landfill, 45605 175th Street, Watertown, 57201, South Dakota

Watertown Regional Landfill is where the area's trash gets buried - a regional facility that sees everything from small household loads to larger haulers. Locals use it for big clean-ups and contractors bring commercial loads too, so the traffic and truck mix can vary.

Drive in to a staffed entrance/scale area and be prepared to stop on the way out as tipping fees are charged by weight. The site is big - open dirt roads, stockpiles, and heavy machinery moving around - so take it slow. Pull up to the scale, check in at the booth, then head to the unloading area indicated by signs or traffic flow and return to the scale for a final weigh-out. Lines build up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so plan extra time if it’s a busy day.

Before You Go

  • Have your load sorted and ready to unload before pulling onto the scale-separating metal, bulky items, or recyclables can save time if there are separate drop-off points.
  • Expect to stop twice: once at the inbound scale/booth and again when leaving for the outbound weigh; plan accordingly and stay with your vehicle when directed.
  • Drive cautiously around the site, watch for heavy equipment and larger trucks, and allow extra time on weekends or during spring/fall cleanup periods.
