How disposal works in North Dakota
North Dakota's cities run its big landfills, and each sets its own prices: in 2026, about $54 a ton in Williston, $57 in Fargo, $59.54 in Grand Forks and $67 in Bismarck, with minimum charges from $6 to $23. Several cities give residents free drop-offs or free weeks.
Most small towns run an inert waste landfill for concrete, trees and construction debris, with no household garbage. State law keeps car batteries, used motor oil and major appliances out of landfills, so appliances are set aside and charged separately.
