South Canyon Landfill
South Canyon Landfill, 1250 CR-134, Glenwood Springs, 81601, Colorado
Located at 1250 CR-134 in Glenwood Springs, South Canyon Landfill is the local spot for larger household loads and haulers that need somewhere to bury trash. Neighbors and small contractors use it when curbside pickup won’t handle the job.
The site is a straightforward, working landfill with a scale and an entrance booth area and open disposal pits and compacted mounds on the hills. You’ll almost always get weighed, so tipping fees are based on weight - that’s how landfills like this generally charge, and commercial loads are commonly accepted. The drive in can be dusty or muddy depending on weather, and there’s some walking from the vehicle to the drop points. Weekends and spring cleanup bring longer lines; busy times mean extra waiting.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose loads before hitting CR-134 - wind and the rural road can scatter debris and slow you down.
- Sort big items from small trash in the truck or trailer ahead of time so unloading at the drop area goes faster.
- Plan for a weight-based fee and possible truck traffic from commercial haulers; try to avoid weekend peak times if a quicker trip is the goal.
