Small, no-frills dump on Alto Avenue that locals take their truckloads and trailers to when spring cleanup hits. Mostly used by residential folks and small contractors in the Las Vegas area who need a quick place to drop off bulky stuff. Expect a busy spot on weekends and during seasonal cleanups.
Drive in off Alto and there’s an entrance booth and a lane to pull up - a scale is usually in the flow so vehicles get weighed before leaving. The site is a fenced, dusty yard with piles and roll-offs; trailers pull up to a tipping area to unload. Concrete barriers and wide lanes make it straightforward to maneuver, but it can get hot and windy so dust is common. Lines form during weekend mornings and after holidays, so allow extra time.

- Bring gloves, a pry bar or shovel for shifting heavy items, and a trash tarp or rope to keep things under control while unloading.
- Avoid peak times like weekend mornings and late-afternoon holiday returns; early weekday mornings are usually quicker and less dusty.
