Morgan County Landfill in Fort Morgan is the county's main place to drop household and commercial trash when curbside pickup isn't an option. Locals, contractors, and haulers use this site for final disposal of loads big and small.
A large, open site with dirt and gravel roads, fenced perimeter, and earth mounds where material is buried. There’s an entrance booth and a scale-traffic usually stops there and vehicles will be weighed so charges are based on weight. After weighing, drivers pull forward to a tipping area where trucks and trailers unload; large compactors and earth-moving equipment are visible around the working faces. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so expect some queueing if arriving then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Make sure loads are covered and secured to prevent debris from flying out while driving and to avoid having to clean up at the site.
- Have identification and any county or business paperwork handy in case it's requested for billing or residency verification.
- Bring help to guide backing and unloading with trailers-there’s loose ground and limited room around the tipping areas, so a spotter speeds things up and reduces stress.
