Southwest Disposal Alamogordo is the local disposal site for Alamogordo residents looking to drop off household and yard debris. Neighbors bringing truckloads, trailers, or small loads from around town use this place more than once a year. The site sits out on Lavelle Road and feels like the kind of spot where people are coming and going all day.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop briefly; these kinds of facilities usually use a scale so vehicles may be weighed. There’s a clear traffic flow with a lane to pull up to the booth and another to head into the dumping area, so follow the vehicles in front if unsure. The ground is mostly gravel or packed dirt, with piles or pits for different kinds of material visible from the driveway. Weekends and spring cleanup times are noticeably busier, so lines can form.

Before You Go

  • Bring sturdy gloves and a tarp to keep loose debris contained - windy, desert conditions can turn a loose load into a mess fast.
  • If hauling with a trailer, strap everything down and cover it so nothing blows off on Lavelle Road; high-clearance and a solid hitch make unloading easier.
  • Plan to arrive earlier in the day on weekends or during seasonal cleanups to avoid long waits; midweek tends to be calmer if that fits the schedule.
