Mineral County Landfill
Dump Ground Rd, Creede, CO 81130
Mineral County Landfill sits out on Dump Ground Rd just outside Creede, a small county dump used by residents and local haulers. This is a true landfill - the place where trash gets buried rather than processed. It’s a no-frills, working site rather than anything fancy.
Like many county landfills, there’s typically a scale on the way in and tipping fees are charged by weight, so expect to stop and be weighed. Vehicles pull forward to a dumping area after weighing; surfaces are gravel and can be dusty or muddy depending on the season. The site feels small compared with Front Range facilities, and lines can build up on weekends and during spring cleanup. Large trucks need room to turn, so plan an approach that gives some space.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps - wind and the rough access road can shift things on the drive out.
- Wear sturdy shoes and gloves; the ground is uneven and loose debris is common near the tipping area.
- Allow extra time on weekends or during spring cleanup season and give larger vehicles plenty of room to maneuver when backing up.
