Small transfer station sitting on CO-149 just outside Lake City, used by locals who don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. It’s a no-frills, working spot for household cleanouts, trailers and contractor loads.
Drive in from CO-149 and expect a short pull-up area where vehicles line up to unload; busy weekends and spring cleanup bring delays. The site is a working yard-the loads get compacted and trucked off to a landfill, so it looks industrial rather than tidy. Gravel surfaces, heavy equipment and open piles are common, so wear sturdy shoes and gloves. Recycling or special-drop areas are often separate from the main drop-off, so sorting beforehand helps speed the visit.

- Bring gloves, basic tools and be ready to break down bulky items so unloading goes faster.
