Broadacres Landfill Inc. is a solid waste management facility located at 4025 Doyle Road in Pueblo, Colorado, United States. The landfill is owned and operated by Waste Connections Inc. - Central Region and has been operational since 1992, providing waste disposal services to the Pueblo area and surrounding communities. The facility operates as a municipal solid waste landfill, subject to US EPA regulations under RCRA Subtitle D and Clean Air Act landfill gas rules. As a landfill in Colorado, it must comply with state-specific environmental standards for landfill gas management and leachate control. The facility's scale is typical for a regional landfill serving a mid-sized city like Pueblo. Broadacres Landfill plays a key role in the region's waste management infrastructure, handling solid waste from residential, commercial, and industrial sources. Its long operational history since 1992 indicates established waste processing capabilities and community integration. The facility's location near Doyle Road and Bush Road provides access for waste collection vehicles while being situated away from dense residential areas.

The landfill's environmental context involves managing landfill gas emissions and leachate to protect local air and groundwater quality. Pueblo's semi-arid climate reduces leachate generation compared to wetter regions, but groundwater monitoring is essential due to potential impacts on the Arkansas River watershed. Proximity to agricultural and rural areas requires careful odor and litter control to minimize community nuisance.
