West Wendover Sanitary Landfill
West Wendover Sanitary Landfill, Lincoln Highway, W. Wendover, 89883, Nevada
West Wendover Sanitary Landfill sits on Lincoln Highway in West Wendover, Nevada. Locals, commercial haulers and anyone with loads of trash take material here to be buried - it’s the final stop for most solid refuse in town. The site is large and very utilitarian, so expect a working yard rather than anything landscaped.
You’ll pull up to a small entrance booth and stop briefly before driving onto a scale. Landfills of this type typically charge tipping fees by weight or volume, and commercial loads are generally accepted alongside residential drops. The tipping face is a wide dirt area with compacted piles and heavy equipment shuffling material around. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan for delays if arriving then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and strap down loose loads before driving on Lincoln Highway - windblown trash makes the trip take longer and creates extra cleanup.
- Have vehicle registration or business paperwork handy if hauling commercially; having that ready usually speeds the billing process.
- Aim for early runs (weekday mornings or early weekend) to avoid long queues; small pickup loads move through much faster than trailers or big trucks.
