Emery County Landfill
Emery County Landfill, off N. Des Bee Dove Road, Castle Dale, 84513, Utah
Emery County Landfill is the county landfill off N. Des Bee Dove Road near Castle Dale/Orangeville, used by local residents, small contractors, and haulers. It’s the final place where trash gets buried, not a transfer station or recycling center. Like most landfills, tipping fees are charged by weight and commercial loads are typically handled and billed differently from residential drop-offs.
Approach on a gravel road and look for an entrance booth and a weigh scale - vehicles are usually weighed so expect to stop for that. The site is big dirt cells and heavy equipment; drivers back into an active dumping area to unload and then often return to the scale for a final weigh. It’s dusty and open, so plan for wind and loose debris, and watch for loaders moving around while backing.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down and tarp loose materials before leaving home so nothing blows out on the road; it speeds unloading and keeps things cleaner for everyone.
- Bring someone to help direct backing or to hop out and spot - backing into a pit or pile is standard and an extra set of eyes helps.
- Avoid weekend afternoons if possible; spring cleanup and Saturdays get the longest lines, so weekdays or early mornings move quicker.
