Camino Real Landfill at 1000 Camino Real Boulevard in Sunland Park is the area's big municipal dump for bulky cleanouts and construction debris. Neighbors and commercial haulers both use it when a pickup truck or trailer is too full for curbside pickup. Expect big dirt piles, bulldozers, and constant truck traffic - it’s where the garbage gets buried.
Drive up to an entrance booth and a weigh scale; landfills of this scale generally assess tipping fees by weight, so plan for a weigh-in and a weigh-out. After the scale, follow the traffic flow out to the active dumping cell where heavy equipment is working, and be prepared for dust and noise. Pull up carefully, watch for other trucks, and keep loose items secured so nothing blows away. Weekends and spring cleanup days commonly have backups, so patience is part of the visit.
