SW Solid Waste Authority

Small county-style solid waste site in Silver City used by residents and small haulers for household trash, yard clippings, and drop-off recycling. The place looks like a working yard more than a park - rough gravel, piles of material, and a simple drive-in setup. Locals swing by with pickup loads or trailers when clearing out a garage or yard.

There’s a single entrance with a booth or gate where vehicles line up briefly to check in before moving to drop-off areas. Riprap and compacted dirt surround the working areas, so expect dust and loose gravel underfoot; trucks and trailers pull up to different piles or bins depending on what’s being dropped. Recycling containers are usually grouped to one side while yard waste and general trash are separate piles or bays; follow the workers' directions or posted signs to the right unloading spot. Weekends and spring cleanup periods bring longer lines, so traffic and wait times can vary a lot.
