Eureka Sanitary Landfill

Eureka Sanitary Landfill, Wittenburg Road, Eureka, 89316, Nevada

Eureka Sanitary Landfill on Wittenburg Road is the main place in town where trucks and residents bring trash to be buried. It’s used by pickup owners, contractors, and the occasional roll-off truck. Expect a working, no-frills site with heavy equipment and big dirt mounds.

There’s an entrance booth and a weigh scale near the driveway; vehicles typically stop on the scale and then proceed to the active dumping area. The site is large and spread out - wide dirt roads, compactors and loaders working the cells, and dusty surfaces. Tipping fees are charged, often by weight or vehicle type, with different rates commonly applied to residential versus commercial loads. Commercial trucks are generally accepted at landfills like this, though they usually face different fee structures than small residential loads.

Before You Go

  • Cover and secure loads with a tarp or straps before the trip - wind and passing trucks can scatter loose material and make the trip longer.
  • Organize the load ahead of time (separate bulky items, metals, and loose brush) so unloading is quicker and safer at the dumping face.
  • Expect dust and uneven ground: keep windows closed on approach, wear sturdy shoes, and have a plan for trailers that might sit lower or need a ramp.
