Demolition/ Fire/ Special Waste

The San Luis Valley Regional Solid Waste Authority accepts demolition, friable and non-friable asbestos waste, fire debris and contaminated soil from the six area regional partners it is designed to serve and support; Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Mineral, Rio Grande and Saguache counties. Hauling of solid wastes from other counties is discouraged and requires approval of the Landfill Manager. If you have questions contact the landfill office: 719-852-3810.

Before you start a remodel, renovation or demolition a State of Colorado Demolition Permit is required. Additionally, Asbestos testing results and the Generator Waste Profile Packet need to be submitted along with the State of Colorado Demolition Permit to the Landfill Manager. If testing results are positive for Asbestos, the Inspection and Remediation results are required.
