Recycling in Pahrump: A Local Guide
Pahrump, Nevada — an unincorporated community of roughly 40,000 in Nye County, about 60 miles west of Las Vegas — has two recycling facilities operating within a few blocks of each other on East Mesquite Avenue. Together they cover household drop-off recycling, e-waste, and paid scrap-metal buyback.
Pahrump Valley Disposal, a C&S Waste Solutions company at 1410 E Mesquite Ave, runs Pahrump's main residential recycling drop-off at the corner of Boothill Drive and Highway 160 (Mon–Fri 6:00 AM–2:30 PM), where it accepts cardboard, food and beverage glass, metal cans, and clear #1 and #2 plastic bottles and jugs. At its Mesquite Ave metal yard (Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–3:30 PM) it handles e-waste — computers, TVs, cell phones, and stereo equipment — and operates a weigh-master-certified scrap-metal operation that buys ferrous and non-ferrous metals, vehicles, appliances, copper, and brass. Both sites are closed weekends.
Pahrump Valley Recycling, a family-owned scrap yard at 1650 E Mesquite Ave open since 2009, is a metal-only paid-intake operation: you bring your scrap and they weigh it and pay you on the spot. Accepted materials include all ferrous and non-ferrous metals — aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, lead, car batteries, appliances, heavy equipment, and vehicles (title required). Wood, plastic, glass, and paper are not accepted here. Hours are Monday through Friday 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, closed weekends.
For materials neither yard handles — such as hazardous household waste, motor oil, or paint — residents should contact Nye County or the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection for periodic HHW events.
