On the same property as the Larimer County Landfill, located south of Fort Collins on Taft Hill Rd. (about two miles south of Harmony Rd.).  Please refer to the Larimer County Hazardous Waste website for hours.

Sharps must be brought in an OSHA-approved sharps container, which can be purchased from most local drug stores. Needles brought in any other containers or loose needles will not be accepted.

There is a self-serve used motor oil depository located near the Household Hazardous Waste center and is open only when the landfill is open.

Appliances containing Freon, like air conditioners, freezers, and refrigerators, are charged a set fee, which includes a handling charge and Freon removal. All other appliances and large items are charged the same as regular trash.

NEW - Landfill Greenwaste site:  Larimer County residents now have the option of keeping green waste out of the landfill. So, what is green waste? It’s clean lumber, wood pallets, tree limbs and trimmings; tree trunks less than two feet in diameter by six feet long; and yard waste. Larimer County Solid Waste begins their Residential Green Waste Program on August 21, 2017.  

Green waste will be accepted at the $5.50 per-cubic yard rate, with no surcharge. All loads must be unloaded by waste type [clean lumber and pallets, green waste, logs, and yard waste]. No other trash will be accepted in a load; all mixed loads will go to the landfill.

The following items will not be accepted as green waste: fiberboard, food waste, metal, painted wood, plastic, plywood, root balls, soil, trash, and treated wood. Bags and containers cannot be dumped with green waste and should be kept for reuse.
