Corralitos Regional Landfill sits out on Robert Larson Boulevard in Las Cruces and handles the heavier end of town’s trash needs. Neighbors and local haulers bring everything from pickup loads to big trailers here; it’s the place where trash is buried for final disposal. As a regional landfill, commercial loads are commonly handled alongside residential drop-offs.
Drive in and there’s usually an entrance booth and a scale-landfills of this type charge tipping fees by weight, so expect to be weighed as part of the process. Pull into the lanes, follow the flow of traffic, unload where other vehicles are dumping, then return to the scale for the out weight. The working area is large with bulldozers and compactors moving dirt and refuse; it can get dusty on dry days and muddy after rain. Lines tend to form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so waits are normal at busier times.
