City of Sheridan Household Hazardous Waste Facility (at the City Landfill)
83 E Ridge Rd, Sheridan, WY 82801
- Accepts
- Cans of paint and spray paint, household cleaners, garage chemicals (oil, grease, antifreeze), yard chemicals (herbicides, insecticides, pesticides), vehicle batteries and fluorescent bulbs. The city's page doesn't split latex from oil-based paint.
- Who can use it
- All Sheridan County residents, not just people inside city limits. Very small businesses (the city calls them conditionally exempt small quantity generators) can use it for a fee.
- Hours
- By appointment, Wednesdays only. Call 307-674-8461 to book. The landfill is open Monday–Saturday 7:30 a.m.–5 p.m. and is closed Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026 (Veterans Day), so there are no hazardous waste drop-offs that day. It is also closed Thanksgiving (Nov. 26), the day after (Nov. 27), Christmas Day and New Year's Day 2027.
- Load limits
- No posted limit. When you call, give a count by type: cans of paint, cans of spray paint, household chemicals, garage chemicals and yard chemicals. The city uses that count to plan storage. PaintCare's listing says it won't take empty, dry or leaking paint cans.
- Fees
- Free for all Sheridan County residents. Businesses, including non-profits and government offices, pay a fee; call for the price. Businesses can't use their landfill coupons for hazardous waste.
Follow the scale house attendant, keep to the speed limit and watch for landfill equipment. Don't smoke on site. The city requires loads to be secured, covered or in closed containers; an unsecured load costs $11 for a car or pickup and $50 for other vehicles and trailers.

Which option fits your Sheridan cleanout?4
You're cleaning out a garage full of cans
Count paint cans, spray cans and other chemicals in separate groups, then call for a Wednesday slot. Bring them in the bed or trunk and follow the scale house attendant.
You live outside Sheridan city limits
You can still use it. The facility serves all Sheridan County residents for free, not just people with city trash service.
You planned on Veterans Day
The landfill is closed Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026. Book the Wednesday before or after instead.
You're a contractor or a church
Businesses, non-profits and government offices can drop off for a fee. Call ahead for the price, and know that landfill coupons can't cover hazardous waste.
Sheridan rules and tips5
THE LOCAL ANSWER
Call 307-674-8461 for a Wednesday appointment at the City Landfill's hazardous waste facility, 83 E. Ridge Rd. It's free for Sheridan County residents. Have a count of your paint cans and spray cans ready when you call. Paint isn't picked up at the curb.
In Sheridan, Wyoming, leftover paint goes to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility at the City Landfill, 83 E. Ridge Rd. Drop-offs are by appointment on Wednesdays only; call 307-674-8461. It's free for anyone who lives in Sheridan County, in town or out. The city says paint isn't picked up at the curb. Wyoming has no PaintCare program.
Wednesday is the only day
Sheridan books hazardous waste drop-offs only on Wednesdays. The landfill is open Monday–Saturday for trash, but paint needs a Wednesday appointment.
Count your cans before you call
Staff ask for a count by type: cans of paint, cans of spray paint, household cleaners, garage chemicals and yard chemicals. Have the numbers ready when you dial 307-674-8461.
Skip Nov. 11
The landfill is closed Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026 for Veterans Day. That knocks out a whole week of hazardous waste drop-offs, so book another Wednesday.
Paint doesn't go in your trash can
The city's trash rules say hazardous materials and paint are not collected at the curb. Its pages don't say dried latex can go in the trash, unlike Laramie's. Ask about latex when you book.
County residents are covered too
The facility serves everyone in Sheridan County, not only city utility customers. Landfill coupons are a city perk, but you don't need one for hazardous waste. Businesses can't use coupons for paint or chemicals.
Free pickup programs and other options
There's no store take-back in Wyoming, and Sheridan has no posted paint swap. The Landfill Mall on site resells usable items like doors, windows and furniture. The city doesn't list paint among those items, and donations cost $122.60 a ton. For usable paint, offer it to a neighbor or community group instead. Wyoming DEQ says to dispose of paint properly and to check for a local household hazardous waste program. Here, that's the Wednesday landfill appointment.
Getting your paint ready
Sort cans into the city's categories and count them. Keep lids tight and cans upright in a box. Tie down or cover your load. Follow the scale house attendant's directions when you arrive.
Full preparation checklist →Sheridan questions5
Can I put old paint in my Sheridan trash can?
The city says paint is not collected curbside and should go to the landfill's hazardous waste program by appointment. Its pages don't give a dried-latex exception, so ask when you call 307-674-8461.
Is it free?
Yes, for all Sheridan County residents. Businesses, non-profits and government offices pay a fee.
Did the free landfill day take paint?
The 2026 Free Landfill Day was Saturday, Sept. 26, and it has passed. The city said household hazardous waste would be taken that day. Watch for the next one; until then, book a Wednesday.
Can I drop off car batteries and fluorescent bulbs at the same time?
Yes. Both are part of the Wednesday hazardous waste program. Household batteries (not car batteries) can go to the scale house any day the landfill is open.
My business has paint. Can I use the facility?
Yes, as a very small business, for a fee. Call 307-674-8461 for the price. You can't use landfill coupons for it.
Sources and how we checked10
October 15, 2026: read the City of Sheridan's Household Hazardous Waste, Landfill, Landfill FAQs, Trash Collection FAQs, Recycling FAQs, Free Landfill Days, Landfill Coupons and Landfill Mall pages; Wyoming DEQ's nonpoint source page; and PaintCare's non-program listing. The city's own pages don't separate latex from oil-based paint and don't say dried latex can be trashed, so we don't tell readers to trash it; ask staff. The 2026 Free Landfill Day (Sept. 26) has passed. Trees for Trash is a one-day event each May; the city gives no 2027 date. The city lists no quantity limit and no business price. We found no separate Sheridan County hazardous waste program and no local paint reuse program.
