Waste Management - Conservation Services Landfill

A working landfill on the eastern edge of Bennett where household and commercial trash ends up buried. Trucks of every size roll through here; locals and haulers both use it. The site is part of the larger Colorado system overseen by CDPHE, so expect the kind of setup common to Front Range landfills.

A weigh scale sits near the entrance, so vehicles stop in, get weighed, and then head toward the tipping area; tipping fees are generally charged by weight rather than by load count. There’s an entry booth and a clear drive-in route that leads to large open cells and bermed piles - it looks like big earthworks more than a recycling depot. Commercial trucks are handled here alongside residential vehicles, so traffic can be a mix of pickups and heavy roll-offs; weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier.
