Clint Landfill is the big burial landfill on Darrington Road that serves El Paso and the surrounding area. Local residents and haulers drop off household debris and commercial loads here; it’s the kind of place where trucks and trailers are the norm rather than pickups alone.
Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be directed toward the scale and tipping area; trucks usually queue so expect to stop twice if they weigh vehicles coming and going. The site is large and mostly bare dirt and compacted cells, with piles and working faces visible from the main access roads. Commercial trucks are a common sight and there’s room to maneuver, but slow down and follow the flow-drivers will point where to unload and where to exit. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to back things up, so lines and waiting are normal.

Before You Go
- Allow extra time on weekends or during spring cleanup; lines form fast and unloading can add to the delay.
- Secure loads with a tarp or straps so debris doesn’t shift on the drive in; loose material slows everyone down and can get messy.
- Bring a partner for heavy or awkward items-there’s a lot of walking and lifting between the drop point and vehicles.
