Summit County Landfill

Summit County Landfill, 639 Landfill Road, Dillon, 80435, Colorado

Summit County Landfill is the county dump that takes what gets buried - used by local homeowners cleaning out garages and by contractors with big hauls. It's listed for the Keystone area but sits down on Landfill Road in Dillon, so expect mountain-country driving to get there. The site looks working and industrial, not like a tidy transfer station.

Pull up to an entrance area and be ready for a scale; tipping fees are handled by weight, so there’s usually a weigh-in and a weigh-out. The property is large with gravel roads, mounded cells of compacted material and heavy equipment moving around, so watch for dump trucks and loaders. County and commercial loads are common, and commercial vehicles are treated differently than small residential drop-offs. Weekends and spring cleanup times can back up into a line at the scale, so expect a wait during busy periods.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loads tightly - loose debris likes to blow out on the drive up or while waiting in line.
  • Pre-sort and stage bulky items in the truck so unloading is faster and doesn’t require moving things around once at the drop-off point.
  • Remember there’s a scale and tipping fees by weight; if planning to use a Summit County resident disposal option, bring proof of residency that may be required for those programs.
