Phantom Landfill

Phantom Landfill sits out on Fremont County Road 67 and is where most of Penrose's household and contractor trash ends up. Locals and small haulers drive in with pickup loads and trailers; it feels like a proper county landfill rather than a tiny drop-off bin site.

There’s a scale/booth at the entrance where trucks get weighed - tipping fees are generally charged by weight, so expect to stop for a weigh-in and again on the way out. The site is large with dirt roads, berms and a working tipping area where vehicles back up to unload; dust and loose gravel are common. Landfills this size commonly handle commercial loads as well, though policies and billing for businesses can differ from residential. Weekends and spring cleanup days tend to back up the line, so allow extra time if hauling a big load.
