Other notes
- Rates are the city's "current landfill rates as of 10/1/22." Prices may vary depending on what is dumped and whether the city has to separate it.
- Source conflict: the same page also lists a commercial household garbage rate of $65.00 per ton, and it lists tires and appliances as not accepted at the city landfill while also posting tire and appliance fees. Call 701-228-3668 before bringing tires or appliances.
- Burn pile: only wood products. Mixed loads or loads with sheetrock, glass, paper, carpet, metal, shingles and similar items are rejected and must be separated.
- Recycling at the Bottineau City Shop, 1/2 mile north of the fairgrounds: trees, branches, leaves, grass and garden waste, corrugated cardboard and aluminum cans. Keep items separate in the marked dumpsters.
