Southwest Disposal Corporation is the local disposal site for Roswell residents and businesses needing to drop off household trash and larger loads. It sits out on W Brasher Rd and gets used by folks hauling away everything from construction debris to yard waste.
A single lane leads up to a small entrance booth and a scale, so expect to stop and be weighed before and after unloading. The site is open-air with dirt drives and piles or bins visible from the road; the desert dust kicks up easily on dry days. Drive slowly through; there are marked spots to pull up for different drop-offs and a separate area where larger trucks stage. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so there can be a wait if several vehicles are ahead.
