Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Mesilla Valley Disposal is the local disposal site on S Main St in Mesilla Park, used mostly by residents and small haulers in the area. It’s the kind of place people stop at when clearing out the garage or dropping off everyday household trash from the valley and surrounding communities.
Pulling in from S Main, the entrance is easy to spot from the road and there’s usually a small booth or gate near the driveway where traffic funnels through. Vehicles line up to drop loads off at different piles or containers; larger trucks and trailers tend to take a separate lane. A scale is common at facilities like this, so be prepared for a possible weigh-in and a pay station before leaving. The site is open-air with gravel and dirt surfaces, and it looks like a working site rather than a tidy public park.
