Where to Dump Dirt in Monument, CO

Last updated August 20, 2026

El Paso County contractors in Monument — about 18 miles north of Colorado Springs — get the same dispatcher-matched free site access as the rest of our Colorado Springs area network. Members dump for free at approved sites; your first load is free even if you never sign up.

Monument sits in El Paso County — the same CDPHE inert-material rules apply here as anywhere else in the Palmer Divide / Pikes Peak region.

Local ground conditions

Colorado Springs sits along the Palmer Divide, the high ridge separating the Denver and Colorado Springs drainage basins — sandy, rocky soil with granite influence from nearby Pikes Peak, generally less expansive than the claystone found through the Denver Basin.

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
