Front Range Landfill in Erie is a regional burial site for household and larger loads of trash, used by locals and haulers working north Denver and Weld County. Drive-up access and scale-based tipping fees are the norm at facilities like this, so both residents and commercial drivers make trips here for final disposal.
Expect a gated entrance with a staffed booth and a vehicle scale; landfills generally weigh trucks in and out and charge by the ton, so plan for a short stop at the scale on the way out. Drive lanes and unloading pads are large to accommodate trucks and trailers, with compacted cells of covered waste visible across the site. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanups, and larger commercial loads are commonly handled at regional landfills.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure anything in the bed or trailer with tarps and straps so debris doesn’t blow out while driving to and from the site.
- Bring a GPS-friendly description of the county road address; the entrance sits off Weld County Rd 6 and is easier to find with exact directions than by landmarks.
- Plan for possible wait time on Saturdays and during seasonal cleanups-arriving earlier in the day usually helps avoid the longest lines.
