Front Range Landfill
Front Range Landfill, 1830 Weld County Road 5, Erie, 80516, Colorado
Front Range Landfill at 1830 Weld County Road 5 in Erie is the big regional landfill people use for large cleanouts and commercial hauls. It’s an industrial site with trucks coming and going, open dirt faces and a working scale for weighing loads.
Expect an entrance booth and a weigh scale up front; tipping fees are charged by weight so vehicles are weighed on the way in and out. The site is large with gravel drives, berms and active tipping areas where trucks unload. Weekends and spring cleanup get backed up, and commercial haulers mix in with residential traffic. Drive slowly, give big trucks room to maneuver, and be prepared for dust or mud depending on the weather.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads - wind can blow debris and loose material is a hassle to clean up.
- Avoid peak times if possible; mid-morning weekends and spring cleanup season tend to have the longest lines.
- Load things so unloading goes quickly - separating bulky items from loose trash speeds the drop-off, and fewer trips help when charges are weight-based.
