Green River Landfill Scale House

2005 Uinta Dr, Green River, WY 82935

(307) 371-5755

A basic county landfill just off Uinta Drive used by locals and commercial haulers from around Sweetwater County. Small-town feel - mostly trucks, trailers, and the occasional pickup from Green River residents. People come here when trash or construction debris has to be buried rather than hauled to a transfer station.

Drive up to a scalehouse where vehicles are weighed and tipping fees are assessed by weight, so expect to stop for a weigh-in. After checking in at the booth, follow the marked route up onto the tipping area; larger commercial loads line up behind smaller trucks on busy days. The site is mostly dirt and gravel with berms and open cells; there isn't much in the way of landscaping, just practical access roads and a working face where material is deposited. Plan on driving back over the scale before leaving - that second weigh pass is how they calculate what gets charged.

Before You Go

  • Bring secure tarps and straps; debris can blow out from open loads on the way up the access road.
  • If hauling a commercial load, space to turn and unload can be tight when big trucks are there, so arrive prepared to wait or coordinate a different vehicle if needed.
  • Keep load documentation handy if bringing construction or mixed loads - it speeds the check-in at the scalehouse and helps avoid confusion.
