Clovis Landfill

Clovis Landfill is the city landfill just east of town, where household trash and larger loads get buried. Locals and commercial haulers both use it; it's the final stop for things that can't be dropped at transfer or recycling sites.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and follow the roadway toward a scale - vehicles usually stop on the way in and again on the way out because charges are weight-based. The site is big and open, with piles of compacted trash and dusty access roads in the desert sun; bring something to shade any paperwork or to keep from baking in a truck cab. There are usually separate lanes or signage for commercial versus residential vehicles, so watch for directional signs and pull where instructed. Expect minimal landscaping and a working, industrial feel rather than anything tidy or landscaped.
