Waste Management - Colorado Springs Landfill

A working landfill on the north side of town where residential and larger loads end up. Locals drop off everything from yard debris after a big cleanup to construction rubble from small jobs. It’s the kind of place used by homeowners, contractors and haulers alike.

Drive in and follow the lane to the scale house - most landfills charge tipping fees and this one operates the same way, with weight-based fees and minimums for small loads. There’s a staffed booth where vehicles check in, then a stop at the scale and a drive up to the active cell where trucks unload. The site is big and mostly gravel or compacted dirt, with piles of different material visible from the road and loaders moving around. Weekends and spring cleanup days can get busy, so expect a line at the gate during peak times.
