From the City of Cheyenne's solid waste fee schedule (Ordinance 4674), effective July 1, 2026. Unsecured loads are charged $47.47 a ton with a one-ton minimum. The city takes cash, checks and credit cards, with a 2.5% fee on cards.
To get the $16.50 resident rate at the transfer station, show identification such as a driver's license and certify the load is your own household waste. Household hazardous waste is taken at the transfer station Tuesday through Friday 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (closed noon to 12:30) and Saturday 7 to 10:30 a.m. Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners pay the Freon removal fee unless a licensed repairman has certified the Freon was removed.
The Happy Jack landfill closes when winds reach 30 mph and reopens after they stay under 30 mph for more than an hour. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes. Ask the attendant about a charge account if you haul often.
We didn't find a Wyoming law that bans car batteries, tires, appliances or electronics from landfills. State landfill rules let landfills set aside white goods and scrap tires, and each landfill writes its own rules and prices for them, so check the fee list before you load a refrigerator or a set of tires.
