The Greater El Paso Landfill at 2600 Darrington Road in Clint is the disposal end point for the whole El Paso system. Everything collected at the city's five citizen collection stations is hauled here, and the site takes 1,500 to 2,000 tons a day from municipal and private haulers working in El Paso, Horizon, Clint and Fabens. Residents may bring waste and bulky items directly rather than using a collection station.
No price appears on this listing, and the reason deserves stating plainly. The city's own environmental services page gives the address, the hours and the prohibited materials but no rates. The city's solid waste ordinance, at section 9.04.550, establishes that landfill fees are charged by both material and vehicle type, that a surcharge applies to uncovered loads, and that separate fees cover waste tyres and transfer stations — but it sets out the categories without ever stating the amounts, which are adopted separately and not published online. Rather than repeat a figure from a news report or an aggregator, we say what the city says: call (915) 212-6000 for the current gate rate.
Six categories are prohibited: Class 1 industrial waste; PCBs, including transformers, capacitors and ballasts; automotive products such as petrol, antifreeze, motor oil, used filters and lead acid batteries; liquid waste containing free liquids by paint filter test; regulated hazardous waste and radioactive materials; and regulated asbestos-containing materials. Industrial and oil and gas generators can apply for special-waste authorisation.
Commercial haulers need a hauler permit from the city before they can deliver loads to the landfill. The permit is an annual fee prorated by month, with a further charge for registering an additional or substitute vehicle.
Hours are Monday to Saturday 7am to 4pm, closed Sunday. The city also accepts used electronic waste here as well as at the collection stations, though commercial electronics and leaking items are refused. The landfill completed a $20 million, 65-acre six-cell expansion in 2026, giving it roughly twelve more years of capacity.
