Small county site out on Co Rd 216 that most folks around Burns use for regular trash drop-off and household cleanouts. It sits well off the highway, so the trip is a bit of country driving and mostly serves people from around eastern Laramie County.
There’s an entrance area with a booth where vehicles pull up to check in before heading into the tipping areas. The site feels open and utilitarian - think gravel drives, large piles or bays, and heavy trucks coming and going. Vehicles often need to stop at a scale when leaving since many county sites measure loads by weight. Weekends and spring clean-up times tend to be the busiest, with a line of pickups and trailers waiting to unload.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have cargo tied down and covered; wind and bumps on the county roads loosen tarps and straps easily.
- Bring gloves and a sturdy shovel or straps for moving bulky items out of a pickup - saves time at the drop point.
- Expect dust and loose gravel on the site; wear boots and drive slowly around larger equipment and trucks.
