The transfer station is a drop-off collection site for residents' household trash, which is then transported periodically to the Larimer County Landfill in Fort Collins. Last year, the department asked its customers for feedback on the transfer station's operating hours. Based on the responses received, the transfer station will open a month earlier than in past years and, at first, will operate biweekly. After Dec. 2, the transfer station will close again until the following spring.
All dates are dependent upon the snow being plowed enroute to the site.
The Red Feather Lakes Transfer Station is located just west of Parvin Lake. It cannot accept large items such as sofas or large wire spools, nor appliances containing refrigerants. Such items must be taken directly to the Larimer County Landfill.
