Landfill & Recycling Center

Mission Statement: The mission of the Saguache County Landfill & Recycling Department is to protect the health and safety of all citizens by disposing of all waste generated in Saguache County in the most efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally sound manner possible. We provide the citizens of Saguache County with an environmentally sound Landfill and manage the recycling program that includes tires, household recyclables, and white goods.

The State of Colorado requires us to close the landfill during inclement weather.  Suppose high winds or blowing snow are forecasted for the day. In that case, we recommend waiting until another day to visit the landfill, especially if traveling a long distance as we cannot promise to be open when you arrive (even if you called and we were open at the time of the phone call). Call 719-221-1956 to inquire about our open status during windy and snowy days.

** The Saguache County Landfill publishes the Hours of Operation on the main county website - saguachecounty.colorado.gov - we are not responsible for any incorrect operating hours posted on any other site. **
