Trinidad Land Fill is the local spot in Trinidad where residents haul household trash and bulky items. Neighbors, contractors, and folks cleaning out garages use it for everyday disposal needs. Located on Cedar Ave, it looks like the kind of place that's been handling town junk for years.
Expect a gated entrance with an attendant booth and a drive-up path that leads past a scale; vehicles are commonly weighed for billing. Pulling up you'll see tipping areas and piles of compacted material, with recycling or drop-off bins usually a short drive from the main area. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there can be a wait before getting to the tipping face. The site is open, a bit dusty, and focused on moving loads rather than sorting them for you.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads tied down and sorted in the truck or trailer so unloading is quick once directed where to go.
- Avoid peak weekend times if possible; early weekday mornings tend to be less busy.
- Keep a copy of local residency proof or ID handy if it's required by county programs or special disposal days.
