Fawn Hollow Transfer Station

Small, local transfer station used by Cañon City residents and nearby rural households. It’s the spot where household trash gets compacted and loaded onto larger trucks for shipment to a landfill elsewhere. Good for people who don’t want to drive all the way to a distant landfill.

There’s a modest entrance with a booth and a lane to pull up; many transfer stations in Colorado have a scale and a separate exit stop, so be prepared for a short pause while they process your load. The site looks industrial - big concrete bays or roll-off containers and a few large compactors - and the recycling or drop-off bins are usually set off to one side. Lines form on busy days, so plan extra time if it’s a weekend or during spring cleanup.
