City of Sharon Springs Landfill

City of Sharon Springs Landfill on Highway 27 is the town’s place for burying municipal trash, used by local households and the occasional commercial hauler. It’s a small, no-frills operation - expect trucks, a scale, and the usual lined-up piles of covered material. Folks come here for routine drop-offs rather than any transfer or recycling services.

There’s typically a scale and a small entrance booth; drivers pull onto the scale then drive up to the working face to unload. The drive in is gravel and a bit bumpy, so trailers and pickups move slowly; backing up to the drop area can be tight. Tipping fees at landfills like this are commonly charged by weight, so plan for a possible stop on the way out as well. Visual cues are simple: compacted mounds, fresh cover soil, and a clear place where trucks dump.
