Fremont County Solid Waste in Lander is the local place people use for household trash, recycling and yard debris when the curbside pickup won’t do. Mostly serves residents from around town and outlying ranch roads; it’s the sort of facility that handles everything a homeowner brings on a truck or trailer.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be ready to stop; there’s typically a place to pull up for check-in and a scale you’ll cross entering or leaving. The site is open-air with piles or containers for different materials and room to turn a trailer around, so expect some dust or gravel underfoot. Recycling bins are usually set off to one side past the booth, and larger disposal areas sit further in, with traffic flowing in and back out the same way.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring something to cover loose loads-wind can scatter paper and yard debris on the drive in, and tarps help keep material contained.
- If hauling a trailer, approach slowly and leave extra room to back in; the turns are roomy but not tight, and others may be waiting behind.
- Weekends-especially spring cleanup times-get busy; plan for a short line and pack water or layers if waiting outside.
