Bismarck residents can dump eligible items for free at the city landfill Sunday, Sept. 29 through Friday, Oct. 4. Bring a recent City of Bismarck utility bill or a driver’s license with a Bismarck address. Household hazardous waste and electronics are included. (Tire disposal still has a fee.)

The city is offering another Free Disposal Week after poor conditions affected the earlier Sept. 15–20 event—giving residents a second shot at clearing garages, basements, and yards before winter.

Load your vehicle the night before, bring ID or a utility bill, and separate recyclables to move faster at the scale house. If you missed the first September window, this is your make-good week to declutter responsibly. For updates or questions, check Public Works before you go.
