El Paso County bulk disposal is handled by private haulers (appointment-based) and the El Paso County Household Hazardous Waste Facility on Academy Boulevard. Bestway operates the main regional landfill (Midway Landfill) in Fountain. Large appliances require refrigerant recovery by EPA-certified technicians.
Bulk disposal in El Paso County is primarily private and user-scheduled. Major haulers (Waste Management, Republic, Bestway) offer on-demand bulk pickup for $25-$100+ depending on volume. Bestway operates the Midway Landfill south of Fountain — the main regional disposal site accepting C&D debris, furniture, and mattresses at gate fees ($15-$40 per load). The El Paso County Household Hazardous Waste Facility (3255 Akers Drive) accepts paint, batteries, electronics, automotive fluids, pesticides, and household chemicals — free for residents with ID, monthly drop-off events. Large appliances (refrigerators, freezers, AC units) require EPA Section 608 refrigerant recovery; most haulers charge $25-$50 for recovery service. Black Forest Slash-Mulch Site accepts tree/brush debris seasonally (May-October) — a post-Black Forest Fire mitigation initiative. Construction debris requires separate C&D hauler coordination. Illegal dumping on BLM, Pike National Forest, or county land is heavily enforced via game cameras and trail-sign violations — C.R.S. §18-4-511 penalties plus restitution.
Illegal dumping on public/private land: $500-$5,000 fine under C.R.S. §18-4-511, cleanup restitution, possible criminal charges. Setting bulk items out without scheduling: $50-$200 code enforcement citation. Refrigerant release: EPA fines up to $44,539 per violation.
