Nye County Landfill

Nye County Landfill is the town landfill out on E Mesquite Ave where residents and businesses haul trash for final disposal. People from Pahrump and surrounding rural areas come here when regular curbside options aren’t enough, or when hauling commercial loads to the county site is necessary.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; many landfills use a scale, so vehicles often pause twice - in and out. The site is large and open, with piles of compacted trash and dirt roads to navigate; it feels like a working industrial area rather than a tidy transfer station. Tipping fees at county landfills are typically charged by weight or volume, and commercial loads are generally accepted though they’re billed differently than household drops. Weekend and spring-cleanup traffic can back up, so expect lineups during busy times.
