Can you bury trash on your property in Colorado?

According to the Colorado Revised Statutes, "It is unlawful for any person who owns or occupies any property to permit trash to accumulate or remain on such property in such a manner or condition as to create an attractive nuisance or endanger public health or safety. Any person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a class 2 petty offense."

Therefore, it is generally not allowed to bury trash on your property in Colorado, unless it is done in a manner that does not create an attractive nuisance or endanger public health or safety. For example, you may be able to bury small amounts of food waste in a compost pile, but you would not be able to bury large amounts of trash, such as appliances or furniture.

If you are unsure about whether or not you can bury trash on your property, it is best to contact your local health department.
