Moab Landfill is the town’s municipal dumping spot off Sand Flats Road, used by residents and local contractors when trash needs to go beyond the curb. It’s a working landfill - the place where garbage is buried - and sees a mix of small household hauls and larger commercial drops.
Pull in past an entrance booth and you’ll drive over a scale so loads can be weighed; tipping fees are charged based on weight and commercial loads are handled with commercial rates. The site is open-air with compacted dirt roads and exposed cells, so it can get dusty in the Utah dry climate and windy days kick up grit. Recycling and drop-off containers are usually set off to the side of the main tipping area, and traffic can back up on weekends and during spring cleanup when more people show up.

Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads - the dry desert wind makes loose trash a nuisance for other vehicles.
- Have help ready for heavy items so unloading is quicker; wear sturdy shoes and gloves for the uneven ground.
- Plan for potential wait times on weekends or community cleanup days; driving slowly once inside helps reduce dust for everyone.
