Denver Arapahoe Disposal Site (DADS) Landfill

A large municipal landfill out on South Gun Club Road that handles household and contractor drop-offs. Folks from Aurora and nearby suburbs use it when a pickup or trailer full of junk needs to go somewhere permanent. The site is what it is-big, dusty, and set up for trucks and trailers more than small cars.

Pull up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; there’s usually a scale you’ll pass either coming in or going out, so loads are charged by weight or by a tipping fee structure rather than a flat free drop. The yard itself is wide open with dirt and gravel aprons, rows of compacted berms and cells in the distance, and heavy truck traffic moving about-watch for slow-moving equipment. Lines and wait times swell on weekends and during spring cleanups, so anticipate a bit of waiting if it’s busy.
