Small-town disposal site used mostly by Minden residents and local contractors. Nestled on Lucerne Street, this is the kind of place people pull into for regular trash runs and neighborhood cleanups. A practical spot rather than a fancy facility - basic services for a desert community.
Drive up and see a single entrance with an attendant booth and open tipping area beyond; bring the trailer or pickup straight in. There’s usually a scale to drive over so vehicles are weighed on the way in or out, so expect a slow roll rather than drive-through speed. Large piles of mixed material and rolloffs are visible from the road, with recyclables or special bins set off to one side. Weekends and seasonal cleanup times get busier, so there can be a line to unload.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp and tie-downs for loose loads; wind in Nevada can blow things around while driving and while waiting in line.
- Have items sorted as much as possible before pulling up so unloading goes faster and fewer trips across the site are needed.
- Leave extra time on weekends or in spring when community cleanups are common - lines form and unloading takes longer than on a random weekday.
