JAG Gem County Solid Waste is the county site out on Unnamed Rd in Eagle that locals use for household trash, yard debris and occasional recycling drops. Short drive from town, it's a no-frills place with an entrance booth and outdoor drop-off areas. Expect a practical, working-site feel rather than anything polished.
Pull up to an entrance booth where vehicles usually pause to check in; at similar county sites there’s often a scale too, so be prepared to stop again when leaving. The ground is open and practical - trucks, trailers and roll-offs are common, and tipping spots are outside. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so waits are normal then. Bring gloves and be ready to move between piles or containers to find the right spot for your load.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Pre-sort recyclables and separate yard waste from mixed trash before getting out of the vehicle to speed unloading.
- Secure loose materials with a tarp or straps; wind and passing trucks can scatter lightweight debris.
- Try to visit midweek or midafternoon if possible-weekend mornings, especially in spring, tend to be the busiest.
