Checked October 2026. Hours, fees, residency rules and accepted items change, sometimes with little notice. Call the site or check its official page before you load up.

Fees (from October 1, 2026)

From the county's Ada County Landfill fee page:

• General trash: $15 minimum for up to 1,035 pounds, then $34 per ton (up from $33)
• Tires: $5.25 each. If you bring only tires, you pay just the tire fee.
• Refrigerated appliances: $25.75 each. If you bring only those, you pay just the unit fee.
• Clean household cardboard: free, if you aren't dumping other trash
• Asbestos: $50 certification fee plus $50 per ton

The county homepage also says some hard-to-handle items incur a $50 per ton fee. Work out heavier loads with the dump fee calculator.

Paying

Cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, Venmo and Apple Pay are accepted. Card payments under $80 carry a $2 convenience fee, and payments over $80 carry a 2.4% fee. Cash or check avoids both.

Tips

• The 1,035-pound minimum covers most pickup loads of household junk, so it's usually $15.
• Haul tires or fridges on a separate trip if that's all you have. You'll avoid the general tipping fee.
• Asbestos needs certification. Read where to dump asbestos first.
• Secure the load. See covered-load rules.
