Colorado Springs doesn't run a public dump. Most self-haul goes to two landfills run by WM: the Colorado Springs Landfill on Blaney Road, about 12 miles east of town and open Monday to Saturday, and the Midway Landfill near Fountain, open weekdays.
Neither posts its public rates online, so call ahead for a price. Paint, chemicals and other hazardous products go to El Paso County's drop-off on Akers Drive instead.
