Small county-style landfill on the edge of town that people from Rawlins and nearby ranches use when the pickup bed or trailer is full. The place looks like a working site rather than a tidy transfer station, and most haulers are locals dropping off loads and heading back down Gun Club Road.
Drive up a short dirt/gravel approach to an entrance booth or gate area and be ready to stop for directions; many landfills have a scale, so expect to be weighed. The tipping area is a big flattening zone with piles and compacted cover - you'll back up, dump, and the loader or compactor will be doing its thing nearby. There’s not a lot of frills: open sky, heavy equipment, and a practical layout for trucks and trailers. Commercial loads are commonly handled at sites like this, and fees are typically set by weight or by vehicle type.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring something to secure loads - wind and loose debris are common on the drive in and around the dumping area.
- Have a plan for where to pull off or park with a trailer so you don’t block the gate while sorting materials.
- Expect mud or dust depending on recent weather; dress and load your truck accordingly so hauling back isn’t a hassle.
