Eagle County Landfill

Eagle County Landfill, 815 Ute Creek Road, Wolcott, 81655, Colorado

Get Directions

Eagle County Landfill sits off Ute Creek Road in Wolcott, serving Edwards and the surrounding valley. This is the county landfill where household trash and larger loads end up being buried, used by people clearing out homes and by haulers with construction or yard material. It feels like a working site rather than a public drop-off center.

The approach is gravel and industrial: an entrance booth and a scale are typical for county landfills, so expect to stop to be weighed and then stop again on the way out. There are large dirt cells and compacted piles, with heavy equipment moving material around. Pull into the scale/booth area slowly, then drive up to the active dumping area to unload as traffic allows. The site looks utilitarian-mud, dust, and wide turning areas for trucks are normal.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loads so debris doesn’t blow out on the drive in; wind and open beds cause the most hassle.
  • Aim for a weekday morning if possible-weekends and spring-cleanup periods get backed up and create long lines.
  • Sort big items and loose material before reaching the top of the site so unloading is quick: keep bulky furniture together and loose brush or soil in a separate spot.
