Midway Landfill at 8925 Rancho Colorado Boulevard is the local spot in Fountain where both homeowners and haulers drop bulky trash that won’t fit in curbside cans. It’s a working landfill - burial of material on a fairly large site, used by contractors and residents alike. Expect tipping fees calculated by weight and that commercial loads are accepted.
A small entrance booth and a scale are right at the road; most drivers stop to be weighed before heading in. Big trucks and loaders dominate the active area, with mounded cells and cover soil visible from the main drive. Pull up, unload at the active face or instructed drop point, then usually run back over the scale to record the outbound weight. Weekends and spring cleanup times commonly have lines, while weekday mornings tend to move faster.

Before You Go
- Secure everything with a tarp and straps - loose debris blows off during the drive and creates extra hassle.
- Sort the load beforehand (metal, brush, general trash) so unloading goes quicker and trips through the site are faster.
- Avoid peak times if possible; arriving midweek or early in the morning will typically cut waiting time.
