Special Waste
Properly disposing of contaminated waste
Certain special waste materials — including contaminated soil, specific waste streams, and anything containing asbestos — have special requirements for handling and disposal. Dry Creek Landfill is not permitted to accept hazardous waste. Certain materials may be difficult to classify, so we follow a special waste management plan that focuses on characterizing particular waste streams. In some cases, testing is required in order to help characterize the waste stream to determine if we can accept the material for disposal.
Create your landfill account
You must have a Dry Creek landfill account before you can bring any special waste for disposal. Existing customers with an account: You must fill out a special waste profile for approval prior to transportation.

Dry Creek Landfill will only accept special waste once it is approved for disposal. Generators must provide reliable documentation describing the source and nature of the contamination.

Additional Information
We accept contaminated soil and special waste Monday through Saturday from 7 am to 4:30 pm with an approved profile. Since we are a commercial-only facility, you will need to set up an account prior to disposal, or call in a valid credit card number each morning of delivery. Typical tests that may be required:
- Paint Filter Test to determine the presence of any free liquids
- Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) Test to determine whether arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium and silver are present
- THP Test to see if there is a possibility of fuel and/or oil contamination
