Waste Facility
Butterfield, NM Community Collection Center
4925 Eason Ln, Las Cruces, NM 88011
A small community collection center serving residents around the Butterfield area of Las Cruces. Neighbors bring household junk and yard debris here; it's the kind of spot locals drop by with a pickup or trailer. The property sits on Eason Lane and looks like a county-run lot rather than a private business.
Pull up to a single entrance where there's usually a small booth or gate area to check in before driving onto the lot. Vehicles then move to open bays or concrete pads to unload - expect gravel, dust, and a handful of roll-off containers or piles rather than polished dumpsters. There's not a mall-sized operation here; the site feels compact and practical, with room for trucks and trailers to turn around. Weekends and seasonal cleanup times tend to get busy, so lines of pickups are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring gloves, a shovel or come prepared to quickly toss and secure loose materials - wind and dust are real in the desert.
- Back the truck or trailer up to the drop area when possible; it makes unloading easier and keeps traffic moving.
- Avoid peak weekend times if possible - early weekdays are usually quieter if an outing needs to be quick.
