About This Center

The City of Elko Landfill is a designated facility for the disposal of non-hazardous solid waste from households, businesses, institutions, and industries in Elko and surrounding areas. Operating in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, the landfill plays a vital role in waste management services. Waste materials, including household waste, food waste, packaging materials, and non-hazardous industrial waste, are compacted in layers using heavy machinery to optimize space and minimize air pockets. Each waste layer is covered with soil, clay, or synthetic materials to create a protective barrier, reducing odors, preventing wildlife attraction, and mitigating erosion. The landfill also features a gas collection system to manage gases like methane and carbon dioxide produced during waste decomposition, with collected methane potentially used as an energy source. Environmental monitoring is stringent, covering groundwater quality, gas emissions, surface water runoff, and other indicators. The landfill operates daily from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with closures on specified holidays. Visitors can establish charge accounts for a minimum monthly fee, and the Landfill Superintendent is Shane Fertig, reachable at 2200 Pinion Road.

Jr Evolution (Evo) (1/5 stars, 3 weeks ago): I was just there I get targeted by the same girl I have a digital gauge and every time I go in she tells me slow down you've been told several times well here's the thing I have not been there for about a month and I have not been there for a while before that like at least 4 months I have been out of town so if I allegedly have been told several times when I only came like maybe 3 times in the past 7 months or longer obviously I've been singled out and I do not appreciate being victimized buy some girl that wants power over me there's other people to traumatize I brought a digital gauge and I did go 3 miles an hour if you guys want it slower change your sign I want a good experience please don't make me bring a camera I'm really not that much to be singled out victimized or any of that matter I know several people that went way faster they said nothing I literally stopped at the stop sign I'm tired of being the victim to this one girl that has a power complex it's not right I'm not there much guys please pick on someone else I'm getting singled out here if she remembers me from months ago I want a good experience there and if I have to video my speed I will do it I don't want to drag this out longer than a review but this is getting ridiculous three times in like 7 months or longer really guys really just leave me alone go have a power complex with someone else ....thank you I didn't want to leave this review until she said that obviously I'm getting singled out here and I don't appreciate it it's not like I'm going 15 I'm not even going 5 and I have proof if you guys want it slower please just change your speed limit to like one or two but I know a lot of people that are going way faster and they don't get yelled at and I do not think people should show favoritism especially in a place like this I don't want to go to court about this and I don't want any trouble but remember me for months ago and to be singled out for going the speed limit when I have a digital gauge I even stopped the stop sign it's just getting out of hand so guys if you can fix this that would be awesome I do admit sometimes it is my fault but not every single time I go cuz I know several people that go faster and get said nothing and favoritism is not good

martin gallegos (5/5 stars, 2 years ago): They are open 99% of the time and in and out pretty quickly and very fair prices plus you can dump your used oil free and used appliances too. Usually no dust on the roads but windy sometimes.
