🚨New Tipping Fees for Non-Household and Commercial Waste (Linked Here)
Due to financial constraints, tipping fees will take effect on July 1, 2025, for all non-household and commercial waste, as adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on February 4, 2025.
This resolution also increased parcel fees by $5 per year to help sustain landfill operations. The Pahrump Landfill is projected to reach capacity within the next 15 years.
Reminder to Residents:
Household waste disposal remains free with a valid Nevada ID, with a Nye County address.
All other waste categories will be subject to the new tipping fees. Residents and commercial users are encouraged to review updated landfill regulations and plan accordingly.
