Landfill
Northern Iron County Landfill
428 S Valley Heights Cir W, Parowan, UT 84761
Small county landfill out by Parowan that locals and commercial haulers both use. It sits in the dry Utah air, so dust and wind matter more than they do down on the Wasatch Front.
Expect a gated entrance with a vehicle scale and a booth - trucks usually stop at the scale and then pull up to the active dumping area. The site is a working landfill: wide open dirt cells, compacted driving pads, and a fair amount of loose gravel. Loads are weighed and charged by weight, and commercial loads are handled here, so larger trucks are common and weekends can get backed up.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down and tarp loads securely; wind and dust can blow debris out of open trailers.
- Keep windows closed and bring sunglasses - the approach and the working area can be gritty and windy.
- Allow extra time on weekends or spring cleanup days, and have a spotter or an extra person if hauling a long trailer onto the scale or the dumping pad.
