Colorado City Landfill

222 Co Rd 141, Colorado City, TX 79512

(325) 728-8831

A working landfill out on County Road 141 that locals and small businesses use to bury household and commercial trash. It’s the kind of place where pickup trucks and roll-off trailers show up between other ranch vehicles and farm equipment. The scale and tipping fee structure mean most folks treat it as a quick in-and-out chore rather than a hangout.

Pull through the entrance toward a weigh scale - loads are usually charged by weight or by vehicle type, so there’s a weigh-in and weigh-out routine. There’s a small booth or office near the entrance where staff handle tickets and the paperwork for commercial haulers. The site itself is mostly open dirt with piles and working faces; expect to drive slowly and follow basic traffic flow while workers direct where to dump. Weekends and spring cleanup days can get busy, so lines at the scale are common then.

Before You Go

  • Cover loose trash with a tarp before hitting the road to avoid debris falling off and to make offloading faster.
  • Have loads generally sorted so bulky, recyclable, or hazardous-looking items can be separated if needed at the gate.
  • Bring a vehicle that can handle rough, unpaved surfaces and be prepared to wait in line during peak weekend or seasonal times.
