Sedalia Landfill

5970 US-85, Sedalia, CO 80135

(720) 733-8584

Sedalia Landfill is the county landfill out on US‑85 that locals use when trash won’t fit in the curb bin. Mostly used by residents hauling household junk, yard debris and contractors with truckloads, it’s the kind of place where you stay in your vehicle for a bit while they weigh and process loads.

Drive in and pull up to an entrance booth and a scale - they charge by weight, so expect to stop on the way out for a second weighing. The site is large, with active tipping faces and piles visible from the road; trucks and trailers move slowly between the disposal areas. Recycling and drop boxes are typically off to the side past the booth, while bulk and mixed loads get directed to different spots by signage. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, so be prepared to wait and watch for heavy equipment operating nearby.

Before You Go

  • Secure loads well with tarps or straps so nothing blows out on the drive and so dumping goes faster once at the tipping area.
  • Have a plan for separating bulky items (metal, mattresses, construction debris) if possible - it makes unloading quicker and reduces back-and-forth.
  • Bring sturdy gloves and a shovel or hand tools; landing areas can be uneven and some items need to be shifted before they go into the pit.
