Get Directions

Carson City Sanitary Landfill on Highway 50 East is the city's main place for burying trash - residents and haulers both use it. It’s a large, working landfill with a scale/booth setup and a tipping-fee system based on weight. Commercial trucks turn through here regularly alongside smaller pickups and trailers.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and a scale; vehicles are typically weighed so expect to stop on the way in and again when you leave. The site is big and mostly dirt - compaction equipment and piles of covered material are visible from the access road. Pull into the lane, follow the flow of traffic to a dumping spot, and watch for uneven, dusty surfaces and turning heavy equipment. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup season, so there can be waits.

Before You Go

  • Secure and tarp loose loads before hitting the highway; it keeps debris from blowing out and saves time at the scale.
  • Aim for midweek or early mornings if possible - weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to back up.
  • Make sure trailers and trucks are ready to back into a dumping spot quickly; tight turns and moving equipment mean it helps to be organized and fast.
