Fountain Landfill

Fountain Landfill is the big county landfill out on 10000 Squirrel Creek Road in Fountain, handling everything from small household hauls to larger truckloads. Neighbors and commercial haulers both use it, so expect a mix of pickups and big rigs. The site looks like a working pit - dirt roads, piles of covered material, and heavy equipment moving around.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale, so most people pull up, get weighed, tip their load, and stop again on the way out to record the exit weight; tipping fees are typically charged by weight with a residential minimum common at places like this. Trucks line up at peak times - spring cleanup and weekends are the busiest. The tipping face is large and often dusty in dry weather or slick after rain, and large compactor machines are usually operating nearby. Commercial loads are common here, so expect some separate paperwork or lanes for bigger haulers and a more industrial feel than a small transfer station.
