Common questions
Where can I dump trash in El Paso County?
At the Greater El Paso Landfill, 2600 Darrington Road in Clint, which takes loads from anyone Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., from about $16 for a truckload under a ton. City of El Paso residents can use five free Citizen Collection Stations instead, Tuesday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a current water bill and matching ID.
Do I have to use the landfill in my own county?
Not always. Some sites take anyone who pays, but others — county citizens' collection stations and many city drop-offs especially — are for residents only and ask for proof of address. Call ahead before you drive across a county line. The city or ZIP search above sorts every nearby site by distance.
Can people outside the City of El Paso use the collection stations?
The City lists them for City of El Paso residents, who show a current water bill and a valid ID with the same address. If you live elsewhere in the county, the Greater El Paso Landfill in Clint takes loads from anyone, from about $16 for a truckload under a ton.
Do the El Paso collection stations take construction debris?
No. The Citizen Collection Stations don’t take construction or demolition material of any kind. Take it to the Greater El Paso Landfill in Clint, which accepts construction debris and contractor loads.
