Western Disposal Services on Butte Mill Road is the local disposal site most Boulder residents use when they need to drop off a load from a pickup or trailer. People bring everything from small household cleanouts to yard debris, so expect a working, no-frills place rather than a tidy retail lot.
Drive in past a small entrance booth and there’s usually a spot to pull up and tell them what’s in the truck. Many folks get weighed on a scale and stop again on the way out, so allow extra time for that. The yard is a mix of gravel lanes, large roll-offs and open tipping areas, with trucks and trailers moving around-watch for backing vehicles. It can be dusty and noisy, and lines build on weekends and spring cleanup days.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort and secure the load in the truck or trailer beforehand so unloading is quicker and nothing flies out on the road.
- Try to go midweek or mid-afternoon to avoid the biggest crowds; weekends and early spring mornings are the busiest.
- Bring ID and any applicable permits or documentation that might be needed for municipal disposal-having them handy speeds the process.
