Colorado dump FAQ

How many landfills are in Colorado?

Dumpmapper lists 32 landfills in Colorado, in 22 of its 64 counties, plus 15 transfer stations, where you can usually drop off trash and bulky loads. The list comes from OpenStreetMap and the US EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program database, so it can miss sites, especially private or construction-debris landfills.

Where can I take household hazardous waste in Colorado?

We list 1 place in Colorado that take household hazardous waste, motor oil or fluorescent bulbs, including Hazardous Materials Management Facility (Boulder). Many counties also hold collection days a few times a year instead of running a permanent site, so check with your county's solid waste or public works office too.

Do dumps in Colorado charge a fee?

Many do, and each site sets its own prices. Charges often depend on weight, load size or the type of item, and tires, mattresses and appliances commonly cost extra. In our Colorado data, 1 listing is tagged in OpenStreetMap as charging a fee and 1 listing as free; the rest don't say. We don't publish prices we can't verify, so ask the site before you go. The dump cost calculator can help you estimate a load.

Can I use a dump in Colorado if I'm not a resident?

It depends on the site. Some city- and county-run sites serve residents only or charge non-residents more, while many privately run landfills and transfer stations take anyone who pays. Check the site's rules before you go, and bring an ID or a utility bill in case they ask for proof of address.

How do I find the phone number or hours for a dump in Colorado?

22 of the 83 listings in Colorado have a phone number or website in our sources. We show it on the map popup, the county page and the listing page, and you can tap a phone number to call. For listings without one, use the Find phone & hours link: it opens a web search for the site's name and town. If you find the phone number or hours, send them to us and we'll add them after checking.

Which counties in Colorado have the most dump and drop-off listings?

Boulder County (13), Adams County (7), and Larimer County (7) have the most listings. 29 of Colorado's 64 counties have at least one listing; the pages for the rest point to the nearest sites in neighboring areas.

Where can I recycle paint and batteries in Colorado?

Dumpmapper lists 1 paint drop-off and 6 battery drop-offs in Colorado. Public data on these is thin, so also try the PaintCare site finder (it only covers states with a paint stewardship program) and the Call2Recycle battery locator. Our paint and battery guides cover the basics.
