Where to Dump Dirt in Erie, CO

Last updated August 20, 2026

Weld County contractors in Erie — about 32 miles southwest of Greeley — get the same dispatcher-matched free site access as the rest of our Greeley area network. Members dump for free at approved sites; your first load is free even if you never sign up.

Erie sits in Weld County — the same CDPHE inert-material rules apply here as anywhere else in the Colorado High Plains.

Local ground conditions

Greeley sits on the Colorado High Plains — flat, historically agricultural land with sandy-to-clay loam soil, a different profile than the expansive Denver Formation claystone found in the Denver Basin to the south.

How verification actually works

Neither CDPHE (Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment) nor any other state agency issues a formal “certified clean fill” seal — that term doesn’t exist in the regulatory language (6 CCR 1007-2 and equivalent). What actually happens at every approved site in our network:

• A published acceptance policy — exactly what’s in, exactly what’s out (no trash, no C&D debris, no treated wood, no contamination)
• The right to inspect and refuse any load at the gate
• A load ticket logged for every delivery, so there’s a real record if a question ever comes up
