Small-town municipal dump that locals use for household cleanouts and regular trash runs. Located just off W Virginia Ave, this is where Gunnison residents drop off everyday refuse and smaller loads from pickups and trailers. Expect a no-frills, practical setup rather than a fancy transfer station.
Pull into a single entry lane with an attendant booth near the entrance; there’s usually a place to stop briefly so they can direct traffic. A scale is commonly part of the process at places like this, so prepare to drive up and be weighed before and after unloading. Piles of compacted trash, a few roll-off containers, and separate recycling bins are visible from the drive-in area, with traffic flow lined by signs and concrete islands. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to have a line, so plan for a short wait if it’s busy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with a tarp or tie-downs - loose debris blows around and slows unloading.
- Have items somewhat sorted in the truck or trailer so unloading is quicker; mixed loads take longer to handle.
- Bring an extra set of gloves and a tarp or blanket to kneel on when unloading heavy or awkward items.
