Small county-run dump used by Eureka residents and folks from nearby ranches. A plain yard with a single entrance, not a big regional facility like those around Las Vegas. Locals swing by with everything from household bags to truckloads during cleanup season.
A compact site with a simple drive-up lane and an entrance booth or station where deliveries are checked; expect to pull up, unload, then exit rather than circulate through multiple lanes. There’s a rough, dusty lot and piles or containers visible from the driveway, so bring boots or sturdy shoes if jumping out of a truck. Vehicles often go over a scale for weight-based charging at places like this, so be prepared to stop twice - in and out - if that’s how the county handles it. Lines can form on weekends or during spring cleanup, so weekday drop-offs tend to move faster.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down loose loads and use a tarp for dusty items; wind in the desert makes debris a nuisance for other users.
- Arrive midweek or mid-morning to avoid the weekend rush and farm-vehicle traffic during harvest times.
- Back trailers in if possible and have someone on hand to help lift bulky items - turning and maneuvering space is limited.
