Recycling in Lander: A Local Guide
Lander, the county seat of Fremont County in central Wyoming, has two recycling operations at the same address — 52 Beebee Rd — where the Fremont County Solid Waste Disposal District runs its Lander Landfill & Bale Station. Both facilities are free for the public and share the site's Tuesday–Saturday 8 AM–5 PM schedule.
Fremont County Solid Waste operates the landfill, bale station, and the district's Free Recycling Zone at 52 Beebee Rd. In addition to paid disposal of municipal solid waste and construction debris ($0.04/lb; $5 minimum for cars and pickups), the district runs free drop-off for plastics, paper, metals, electronic waste, and green waste such as branches, grass clippings, and leaves. E-waste is accepted at no fee. The site is also the district headquarters managing four Free Recycling Zones across Fremont County. Closed Sundays, Mondays, and major holidays; half-days on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
Community Entry Services (CES) Recycling Center operates a free recycling drop-off program within the same Lander Landfill & Bale Station facility. CES accepts #1 (PET) and #2 (HDPE) plastic bottles and jugs, mixed paper, shredded paper (clean white office paper, bagged), corrugated cardboard, tin and aluminum cans, and scrap iron, plus special-waste items including used motor oil, antifreeze (both deposited in on-site tanks), lead-acid batteries, and paint. All items must be rinsed, removed from plastic bags, and sorted into the proper bins. Recycling drop-off is entirely free. Call (307) 335-7196 for questions.
