Bondad Landfill

Bondad Landfill is the big County landfill out past town that locals use for household cleanouts and contractors dropping loads. It’s the place trucks and pickup beds head for when trash needs to be buried rather than recycled or hauled away by a private service. People from Durango and nearby rural areas come here, including commercial haulers.

Drive in and you’ll see a small entrance booth and a scale - vehicles usually stop to be weighed and then again on the way out since tipping fees are assessed by weight. The site is large and open, with piles and covered cells on the main pad; backing into a working face is common so be ready to maneuver. There’s an obvious traffic flow: pull up to the booth, head to the disposal area as directed, then exit back over the scale. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get busy, so expect some wait time if it’s a peak day.
