Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Cheyenne Landfill on Happy Jack Road is the county landfill that most locals and local haulers use when they need to bury household or business trash. It’s out where the city thins out, so expect it to serve people from across a wide area rather than just the neighborhood next door.
Drive up to an entrance booth and you’ll see a scale you have to cross - tipping fees are charged by weight, so there’s usually a stop on the way in and one on the way out. The site is large and mostly open, with compacted dirt roads, piles of covered material, and heavy equipment moving around; pull up where staff direct vehicles and be prepared to wait if a truck is dumping. Commercial haulers are commonly on site alongside residential vehicles, so the stream of traffic can be different than a small drop-off facility. Expect a basic, working-yard look rather than anything polished - bring what you need to secure and tarp loads against wind before entering.
