Every North Dakota rate we've verified is side by side in our guide to what it costs to dump in North Dakota.
City of Grand Forks residents can drop off household quantities of furniture, electronics, brush and wood, and appliances free up to four times a year. Bring a current driver's license or utility bill as proof of residency. Tire and special waste fees still apply.
For things you can't haul, the city's special pickup by request costs a $48 minimum plus $1 a minute, or $48 per metal item or appliance.
North Dakota law keeps lead-acid car batteries, used motor oil and major appliances (washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, stoves, water heaters, furnaces, air conditioners and the like) out of landfills (NDCC 23.1-08-08), so landfills set appliances aside for recycling and usually charge for them. Stores that sell car batteries must take your old one as a trade-in. Whole tires aren't banned, but landfills charge for them one by one.
Most small North Dakota towns run an inert waste landfill for concrete, brick, trees, brush, untreated wood and similar debris; household garbage isn't allowed there. The finder above shows the ones the state lists near you. Call the city office first, since many are for residents only.
