New To Cokeville? Lincoln County Landfill Hours

This article is first in an on-going series titled, "New to Cokeville?" of informational articles on public services and recreation opportunities offered in or near the town of Cokeville.

This article is a quick reference for new people to our community on how to use the landfill. It is also a place for the rest of us to check if we forget the landfill's open hours.




The town of Cokeville, Wyoming does not have a town trash pick-up. Different people offer different pick-up services at different points in time. You'll have to ask around to see who is currently offering garbage pick-up if you don't wish to haul your own. You can check with the Cokeville Town Hall to see who holds current business licenses and then contact those individuals directly for rates and dates. However, hauling your own garbage is not very difficult. There is no charge to Cokeville residents for hauling a covered load of household trash to the landfill

Garbage generated from people in and around Cokeville goes to a landfill just east of the Cokeville Cemetery, very close to town. At this time, garbage from most of the Star Valley area is also baled and brought to Cokeville.

You can drive up to the dump during the hours of operation, and drive to the far east side of the building. You then drive into the building and unload your garbage by the back south east corner. There are other signs posted inside, for batteries and I think metal.





The landfill doesn't offer many recycling opportunities. Logan, Utah has different spots for many types of recycling and there is metal recycling in Montpelier, Idaho.

For "vegetative matter" there is a burn pile. Check in at the office located in the baling building before placing items in the burn pile.



"UNPOSTED Exception to being open on Saturday" - The Cokeville "dump" (aka Lincoln County Landfill) is sometimes closed on a Satuday preceeding a Monday that is a national holiday. This may change or may not actually be a rule but by experience, there have been multiple Saturday's that the dump has been closed when there is a holiday on the next Monday.

There are probably other rules and anyone with Lincoln County is welcome to clarify, correct or add additional information to this post. Thank you.
