What it costs to dump in Wyoming: 2026 fees
Wyoming's cities and counties run their own landfills and set their own prices, and most offer residents free or cheap loads. Among the five we've checked, a small load runs from $5 to about $45, and bigger loads $63 to $124 a ton.

How dumping works in Wyoming
Wyoming has dozens of small landfills, many run by a county or a solid waste disposal district, and a growing number of transfer stations as small landfills close. In the cities, Cheyenne sends residents to its transfer station on College Drive (the Happy Jack Road landfill is weekdays only), Casper runs the regional Solid Waste Facility on Station Road, Laramie and Sheridan run city landfills, and Campbell County runs the landfill 11 miles north of Gillette.
Wind matters here: Cheyenne's landfill closes when gusts hit 30 mph, and every landfill we checked charges extra for loads that aren't tarped or tied down.
Free options
- Campbell County: 12 free household-waste dumps a year (up to a ton each) for pre-registered county addresses.
- Sheridan: six free disposals a year for city utility accounts, plus free landfill days and “Trees for Trash” in May.
- Laramie: one free voucher load a year per household (summer season), and free green waste, glass, metal and household electronics any time.
- Casper: a monthly SWF pass for city utility customers, each covering one load up to 10 feet.
- Cheyenne: free household electronics recycling at the transfer station.
The catches that cost people money
- An untarped load. Cheyenne charges $47.47 a ton with a one-ton minimum; Campbell County $25; Laramie $10 a ton extra.
- Saturday in Cheyenne. The Happy Jack landfill is weekdays only; use the College Drive transfer station Saturday mornings.
- Tires and refrigerators on a free load. Free-dump programs in Casper, Campbell County, Laramie and Sheridan don't cover them.
- Mixed construction debris in Sheridan. Clean, grindable debris is $54.97 a ton; mixed loads pay the $124.44 trash rate.
What Wyoming law keeps out of landfills
We didn't find a Wyoming law that bans car batteries, tires, appliances or electronics from landfills. The state's landfill rules let operators set aside white goods and scrap tires, and scrap tires fall under the state's special waste rules, but each landfill decides what it takes and charges. Hazardous waste stays out everywhere; Cheyenne, Laramie and Sheridan take household hazardous waste separately.
