A local citizen collection station in east El Paso where residents drop off household items and small loads. Neighbors use it for routine cleanups and getting rid of things that don't fit in regular curbside pickup.
The site is relatively compact with drive-up lanes and a small entrance booth/scale area near the front, so there’s a clear place to stop and get directed. Vehicles pull up, unload to marked containers or into roll-off areas, then exit past the scale. The layout is more like a neighborhood drop-off than a large landfill - expect concrete pads, metal bins, and a handful of signs showing where to go. Weekends and seasonal cleanups can create lines, so there’s often a short wait before getting to the booth.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring an ID that shows an El Paso address - many local stations require proof of residency.
- Secure loose items in the truck bed or trailer so nothing blows out while driving through the site.
- Go during weekday mornings if possible; weekends are busiest and can have longer waits.
