Dump Stations In Keno City, Yukon -- Sani-Dumps Online
63.9092° N, 135.3040° W
Quick Overview
Keno City is a tiny former silver mining community at the end of the Silver Trail, about 110 kilometres northeast of the Stewart Crossing junction on the Klondike Highway. With a year-round population of barely a dozen people, it's one of the most remote places in the Yukon you can reach by road. You'll find several dump stations here, with some offering free access. The local RV dump station and sani-dump facility serves the small number of travelers who make the detour up the Silver Trail from Stewart Crossing through Mayo. The sanitary dump station access in Keno City matters because there's essentially nothing else between here and Mayo, about 60 kilometres back down the road. Keno City's mining museum is the main draw, along with the Signpost Hill hike and the views of the surrounding Wernecke Mountains. If you've driven the Silver Trail this far, you're committed -- use the dump station before heading back south.

Traveling to Keno City by RV
The Silver Trail (Highway 11) runs from Stewart Crossing on the Klondike Highway through Mayo to Keno City. The road is paved to Mayo (about 50 km from Stewart Crossing) and then becomes mostly gravel for the remaining 60 kilometres to Keno City. The gravel section is narrow and winding in places, suitable for smaller rigs but challenging for large Class A motorhomes or long fifth-wheel setups. Fuel up in Mayo before pushing on to Keno City -- there's no fuel available in Keno itself. The nearest full services are in Whitehorse, about a five-hour drive back south via the Klondike Highway.

Dump Station Costs in Keno City
At the end of a gravel road in one of the Yukon's most remote communities, dump station access is a convenience rather than a commodity. Of the stations in Keno City, a portion% are free while a portion% charge a fee. The pricing reflects the extreme remoteness -- maintaining any infrastructure here is costly. If free access is available, consider it a bonus on your Silver Trail side trip. Cash is the safest payment method since there's no guarantee of card reader availability in a community this size.

Explore the Keno City Area
The Keno City Mining Museum is genuinely worth the trip if you're interested in Yukon history -- it's a well-curated collection in an incredibly remote setting. The hike to Signpost Hill takes about an hour and gives you panoramic views of the Wernecke Mountains and the McQuesten River valley. Dump your tanks here before the drive back to Stewart Crossing, since the gravel road south has no services. Bring everything you need including extra fuel and water. Mosquitoes are brutal in this area from June through July, so keep your screens up and bug spray close at hand.
