Carbon County Landfill sits out on E Airport Rd just outside Price and is where most local household and commercial trash ends up when it needs burying. Neighbors, landscapers and haulers all use it-it's the final stop for things that can't be recycled or hauled off to a transfer station. The site is a working landfill, so expect a big exposed fill area and trucks coming and going.
Drive up to an entrance booth and you’ll likely be directed to a scale; this place charges by weight so there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out procedure. Pull forward to the unloading area after getting instructions at the booth - large open tipping faces and compacted cover areas are visible from the drive. The yard is dusty in dry weather, with gravel ramps and heavy equipment moving around, and commercial trucks are common alongside pickup and trailer loads.

Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or tie-downs for loose material - dusty, windy days make things shift and fly.
- Expect to stop at the scale twice: once in and once out; plan for a short wait during busy times like spring cleanup.
- Load vehicles and trailers so they can be emptied quickly; workers will usually point where to dump and traffic moves faster when people are prepared.
