Transfer Station
Crested Butte Transfer Station
467 Riverland Drive, Crested Butte, CO 81224
800-963-4776A small transfer station in Crested Butte where residents drop off household trash to be compacted and hauled out to a landfill elsewhere. Locals use it for the convenience of not driving to a distant landfill and for routine household cleanouts.
A lone entrance booth and a short drive-up area mark the site; have the vehicle ready to pull up to the scale/booth area when it's your turn. The main tipping area is a paved bay where loads are dumped and compacted into larger trucks for transport. Expect a modest, mountain-town scale facility rather than a large regional complex. Weekends and spring cleanup tend to be the busiest times, so there can be a line of pickup trucks waiting to get in.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and bulky items at home so unloading goes faster once at the bay.
- Secure tarps and loose trash before driving in-windy mountain roads and the transfer area can make loose loads a headache.
- Bring gloves, a flashlight for evening drops, and be ready to back up or angle the vehicle to reach the tip point easily.
