County landfill takes flood green waste free through Dec. 31
Montezuma County says residents clearing fallen trees, branches and brush left by the flooding can drop green waste at the county landfill at no charge until the end of the year.
The following is a news release from Montezuma County, posted to the county’s Facebook page on November 10, 2026.
To assist residents with flood debris cleanup, Montezuma County Landfill will accept green waste at no charge through December 31, 2026.
Residents cleaning up fallen trees, branches, brush, and other green waste from recent flooding are encouraged to take advantage of this service.
This effort is part of Montezuma County’s ongoing efforts to support residents as our community continues cleanup and recovery.
The county’s previous free green waste offer, announced in October, ran only to October 31 and was pitched at fall yard cleanup. This notice extends free disposal by two months and ties it to the flooding that hit the county in late October and early November.
The county did not say in the notice which materials count as green waste, and asked in its earlier notice that residents with questions about accepted materials contact the landfill.
