Front Range Landfill

A large regional landfill on the east side of Erie, used by both residents and commercial haulers hauling loads from the Front Range. The site handles big roll-offs and truck traffic, so expect a sprawling, industrial feel rather than a tidy drop-off. Local landscapers, contractors, and anyone cleaning out a garage all end up here.

There’s a weigh scale at the entrance and tipping fees are calculated by weight, so vehicles usually stop twice - in and out. Drive up to an entry booth, then follow the lane to the scale and later to the active tipping area; big berms and rows of compacted material are visible from most vantage points. Semi-trucks and roll-off trucks are common, and the site looks like a working industrial yard with heavy equipment moving loads around. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so wait times can be noticeable.
