Davis County Landfill
Davis County Landfill, 1997 E 3500 N, Layton, 84040, Utah
Davis County Landfill at 1997 E 3500 N in Layton is where residents and haulers go to get rid of big loads that won’t fit in curbside bins. It’s a large, working landfill-expect truck traffic, heavy equipment, and open tipping areas. People use it for construction debris, bulky cleanouts, and other stuff that needs to be buried rather than recycled.
Most county landfills have a scale and an entrance booth, so plan on stopping to be weighed and checked before you dump. Tipping fees are generally charged by weight or volume, and commercial loads are commonly billed differently than residential ones. After the booth, follow the flow of traffic to the active tipping face; loaders and compactors will be moving material around. Weekends and spring cleanup times get the longest lines, so waits are common then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads so nothing blows out on the road and unloading goes faster.
- Have photo ID or proof of residency handy if trying to qualify for residential rates, since many landfills check at the gate.
- Try a weekday morning for shorter lines; if a weekend visit is unavoidable, expect to wait and plan accordingly.
