Virgin Valley Disposal, Inc. is the local disposal site on Riverside Road that most Mesquite residents and small contractors use for dropping off household and construction debris. It sits off a main street in town and looks like the kind of place people stop at when cleaning out a yard or finishing a job.
Drive in from Riverside and you'll see an entrance booth and a lane to pull up; there’s usually a scale/weigh station as part of getting checked in. Beyond that the site opens into large, dusty tipping areas with roll-off bins and piles where loads get sorted and dumped. Expect a working, utilitarian setup rather than anything paved over with landscaping, and be ready to back into a spot to unload.

Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before coming - the desert wind in Nevada can make a mess if things fly out.
- Separate big items (metal, wood, bulky trash) at home so unloading goes faster once at the tipping area.
- Avoid late-afternoon and weekend cleanup rushes when possible; weekday mornings tend to move quicker and in summer bring plenty of water for the trip.
