Huerfano County Waste Transfer

701 Industrial Park Dr, Walsenburg, CO 81089

(719) 989-0148

Huerfano County Waste Transfer in Walsenburg is the small transfer station locals use when a quick drop-off beats a long drive to a landfill. Pickup trucks, trailers and the occasional contractor load are the usual traffic. The site compacts what comes in and then hauls it out to a landfill elsewhere.

Pull up to a modest entrance booth and a scale; plan to stop there and likely stop again on the way out since charges are by weight. The yard is mostly gravel with large roll-off containers and a compactor, so it feels like a working industrial lot rather than a tidy recycling center. Once past the booth, look for the tipping area and the bulk containers-recycling bins are typically grouped off to one side. Expect trucks moving around and a bit of dust, especially in dry weather.

Before You Go

  • Tie down loose loads and cover dusty or lightweight debris - wind can send things blowing during unloading; gloves and closed-toe shoes help.
  • Sort materials at the tailgate into basic piles so unloading goes faster; that matters when there’s a line behind the truck.
  • Avoid weekend mid-afternoons if possible; early mornings or weekdays are usually quicker, and spring cleanup brings the longest waits.
