Emery County Land Fill just outside Orangeville handles local household and small-contractor trash for the county. Used mostly by residents hauling pickups and trailers, it’s a straightforward, no-frills county dump rather than a transfer station or recycling center.
Expect a small entrance booth and a scale where vehicles stop to be weighed; plan to pull up and wait your turn. After the booth the traffic flow leads to the active tipping area where trucks and trailers back up to dump - follow the other vehicles if unsure. The site is open and often dusty in dry weather, with visible piles of compacted material and heavy equipment working the mounds. On the way out most people stop at the scale again so there’s usually a short pause before leaving.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose loads with a tarp and tie-downs so debris doesn’t blow out on the road or at the site.
- Break down furniture and bulky items before hauling them; it makes unloading quicker and saves space in the truck.
- Avoid weekend or peak cleanup times when possible - lines can get long, especially during spring cleanups.
