Pahrump Valley Sanitary Landfill
Pahrump Valley Sanitary Landfill, 1631 E. Mesquite Avenue, Pahrump, 89060, Nevada
Pahrump Valley Sanitary Landfill at 1631 E. Mesquite Avenue is where locals and contractors bring trash that gets buried. Residents, landscapers and construction crews all use it for larger loads that won't fit in curbside pickup. It’s the town’s landfill - the place for final disposal of bulky or mixed trash.
On the way in there's an entrance booth and a scale; tipping fees are charged by weight so expect to stop for weighing. The site is mostly dirt roads, heavy equipment and large compacted piles, with trucks of all sizes coming and going. Landfills like this generally accept commercial loads, so don't be surprised by big rigs and roll-off trailers. Lines form on weekends and during community cleanups, and unloading usually means backing up to a drop area or ramp.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loads - wind will scatter light debris and loose items slow everything down.
- Have a spotter when backing trailers; the ground can be uneven and maneuvering near the tipping face gets tight.
- Consolidate what can be combined since fees are weight-based, and be prepared for the possibility of a small minimum charge on tiny loads.
