Cheyenne Landfill
Cheyenne Landfill, 1461 Happy Jack Road, Cheyenne, 82009, Wyoming
Cheyenne Landfill at 1461 Happy Jack Road is the local landfill in Cheyenne, Wyoming - the place where trash is buried. Neighbors, contractors and trucked loads all make trips out here; like most landfills, there’s usually a separate tipping fee structure for residential versus commercial loads.
Plan to pull up to an entrance area with a weigh station or booth where vehicles are processed; charges are commonly by weight or load type, so a stop on the way out is typical. The site is wide open with dirt roads, piles of compacted material and heavy equipment working around different sections. Follow the flow of trucks and signs at the gate to the active dumping area, and expect slower movement on busy weekends or during spring cleanup.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose material before coming - wind and passing trucks can spread debris easily.
- Keep everything destined for the landfill together in one trip when possible; multiple small trips usually cost more because of how tipping fees are structured.
- Aim for mid-week or later in the day to avoid longer lines; weekends and spring cleanup times get backed up.
