Intermountain Regional Landfill in Fairfield is the big regional dump out on 800 S Allen Ranch Rd where homeowners and commercial haulers bring loads to be buried. The site feels industrial - lots of trucks, heavy equipment, and large capped cells visible from the road. There is a tipping-fee structure based on weight and commercial loads are commonly handled here.
Pull in toward a small scalehouse or booth to check in, then drive across a scale so expect to stop again on the way out since charges are by weight. The yard is wide open with gravel roads, tractors moving dirt, and separate lanes for different vehicle sizes; it can look muddy after rain. Drivers are usually directed to a specific tipping area to unload, then head back to the scale to clear out. Weekends and spring cleanup bring longer lines, so build in extra time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose material before the trip - wind and highway travel make for a messy unload and can slow the process at the site.
- Plan for scale in and scale out; because tipping fees are weight-based, saves time by keeping the load easy to access for quick inspection and dumping.
- Expect truck traffic and big rigs; if hauling commercially, allow extra time for maneuvering and stalls, and make sure the vehicle can handle backing into the tipping area.
