Battle Mountain Sanitary Landfill

Battle Mountain Sanitary Landfill, NV-305, Battle Mountain, 89820, Nevada

Battle Mountain Sanitary Landfill is the town dump off NV-305, used by local residents and businesses who need a place to tip their trash. Smaller and more utilitarian than the big regional sites, it’s where loads end up when pickup bins or haulers can’t take them any further.

Pull in from NV-305 and slow down for a gravel drive leading to an entrance booth and a large scale; most landfills in this region charge tipping fees by weight and commercial loads are handled differently than residential ones. The site looks industrial-wide open dirt areas, heavy trucks, and earth-moving equipment; expect dust on dry, windy days. Drivers are directed to a dumping cell and then go back over the scale on the way out, so plan for a short stop at both ends.

Before You Go

  • Secure and cover loose loads so debris doesn’t fly out on the road or at the site; windy days make an uncovered load a real mess.
  • Have trailers and vehicles set up to back in or maneuver-some cells require reversing and there’s limited room to turn.
  • Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so allow extra time if dropping off on those days and be prepared for a line of trucks.
