Tonopah Test Range Sanitary Landfill

Tonopah Test Range Sanitary Landfill is the local landfill out at the Tonopah Test Range Airport, used by residents and contractors hauling bulky or construction waste. People from town go there when pickup services won’t handle a load.

Pull up to a gated, industrial-looking site with an entrance booth and a weigh scale - expect to stop at both the gate and the scale. Landfills of this type typically charge tipping fees by weight or by load, so plan for a weigh-in before you leave. Commercial loads are commonly accepted at landfills, though fee structures often differ from residential drops. The area is open and dusty with dirt access roads and the usual mounded berms where material is buried.
