Fountain Landfill

Fountain Landfill is the municipal landfill on the south side of Fountain, used by residents and commercial haulers who need a final-disposal site for trash and construction debris. It’s the kind of place people bring full loads rather than small curbside bags. Expect a large, open site with rolling cells and dirt roads rather than a compact drop-off center.

There’s typically a scale at the entrance so tipping fees are charged by weight, meaning most vehicles stop twice - in and out. Pull up to an entrance booth or scale house to be directed where to go, then drive onto the working face or a tipped area when told. The site will look like long berms and worked-over dirt areas with heavy equipment moving material around. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, and commercial trucks share the same lanes as residential vehicles.
