(575) 396-4269Small neighborhood drop-off on the south side of town used by Lovington residents for everyday cleanup and bagged trash. The site looks like a compact paved lot with a few large containers rather than a full-scale transfer station, so expect a quick in-and-out for household loads.
Drive up on S Commercial and pull into a short driveway that leads to the container area; there’s often an entrance booth structure though many of these centers are lightly staffed or unattended. Recycling and trash containers are usually separated and grouped close together, with a low chain-link fence and signage marking each bin. The lot is exposed desert sun-there’s little shade-so summer visits can be hot and bright. Weekends and spring cleanup times commonly bring a line of trucks and trailers, so plan for a wait if arriving midday.
