Other notes
- Fee pairs are in-county / out-of-county, from the county tipping fee flyer updated June 26, 2026.
- Mixed loads are charged at the rate of the highest-priced item in the load.
- On June 18, 2026 the Board of Commissioners eliminated disposal fees for eligible residential waste from residents' own homes.
- Source difference on proof of residency: the county web page says a valid Nevada ID and a Nye County address, while the county brochure accepts a government ID, driver's license, military ID, or a current bill or document showing your name and residential address (tax bill, utility bill, phone bill, rental agreement). Bring both if you can.
- The landfill is operated for the county by Southwest Environmental Services (main office 775-727-5777). The brochure says the Pahrump landfill is nearing the end of its active life.
