Duchesne County Landfill
Duchesne County Landfill, Highway 87, Duchesne, 84021, Utah
Duchesne County Landfill is the local county dump off Highway 87 in Duchesne, used by homeowners and local haulers. It’s a modest, no-frills landfill - smaller than the big regional sites but big enough to handle truckloads and pickup-bed junk.
There’s typically a scale near the entrance so vehicles are weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight or vehicle type. Pull up to the booth/scale area, then proceed to the working face where loads are dumped onto dirt pads and compacted. The site looks like exposed soil and berms rather than recycling machinery; expect dust in dry weather and mud when it’s wet. Weekends and spring cleanup season often have lines, so busy times are noticeable.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loose loads so debris doesn’t blow out on the drive in - it saves time and cleanup.
- Sort out anything that might be recyclable or hazardous before loading the truck to avoid surprises at the scale area.
- Know whether a trailer is hitched or how much the truck is loaded - tipping fees are commonly based on weight or vehicle class, so plan accordingly.
