Cheyenne County Solid Waste in Wheeler is the local county disposal site for household trash, yard clippings and basic recycling. People from around the area bring pickups, trailers and small loads here. It’s the spot most residents use when they need to get rid of everyday junk or clean up the yard.
Expect a simple, working-site look - dirt or gravel drive, piles and roll‑off containers rather than anything fancy. There’s typically an entrance booth and a scale at sites like this, so plan on stopping at least once to have your load weighed. Drive up to the main drop area, sort through what’s recyclable and what’s trash, then unload into the appropriate pile or bin. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, can get backed up with trucks and trailers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down and tarp loose loads before leaving home so nothing blows out on the road or at the site.
- Sort recyclables and yard waste at the driveway; separating materials ahead of time makes unloading faster and less confusing.
- Bring work gloves and something to cover small loads - and expect a line on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups.
