Landfill
Milner Landfill
Milner Landfill, 20650 County Road 205, Milner, 80487, Colorado
Milner Landfill is the county landfill out on County Road 205, the place locals and haulers use when things need to be buried rather than recycled. It’s a working dirt-and-gravel site with heavy equipment moving around, used by residents, contractors and commercial haulers alike.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale where vehicles get weighed, so tipping fees are charged by weight rather than by load. After the scale, vehicles are directed to the active drop area or larger cells where crews push material into place. The yard is gravel and can be rough or muddy in shoulder seasons, with large trucks and loaders operating nearby. Weekends and spring-cleanup days tend to get backed up, so wait times are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure everything with tarps and straps before leaving home - loose material blows off on the road and can make unloading a headache.
- Wear sturdy boots and gloves; the ground is uneven and there’s often scrap and nails around the tipping area.
- If hauling a big or commercial load, plan for the weight-based tipping fees and give extra time for scales and backing in-midweek mornings typically move faster than weekend afternoons.
