White Hills Class I Landfill
White Hills Class I Landfill, off SR-137, Gunnison, , Utah
White Hills Class I Landfill is the big county landfill just off SR-137 near Gunnison. Neighbors doing large cleanouts and commercial haulers both come here when there’s too much for the curb or the transfer station.
There’s a scale and an entrance booth where trucks and pickups line up to be weighed; tipping fees are typically charged by weight, so expect a weigh-in as part of the visit. The site is large and dusty with long dirt roads, piles and compacted cells, and heavy equipment moving about. Commercial loads are handled differently than small residential drop-offs, usually with separate routing or fee categories. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get backed up, so there may be a wait when it’s busy.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have loads covered and tied down-wind and loose debris are common on the drive in and make unloading slower.
- Sort materials before pulling up to the booth so unloading goes faster; mixed loads often take longer to process.
- Plan for the scale: arrive knowing roughly what is being hauled and be ready to stop twice (in and out) since charges are typically weight-based.
