This guide is for Clovis in Curry County, New Mexico. The New Mexico Environment Department lists the city's Clovis Regional Landfill at 2801 E Brady St. as Curry County's household hazardous waste collection place, but the city's own pages don't say what paint it takes. Call before you go. New Mexico has no PaintCare program, so there is no PaintCare store drop-off network here.
NMED's 2025 list of household hazardous waste collection by county names the Clovis Regional Landfill for Curry County. The city's Landfill page, FAQ and Public Works page don't mention paint or hazardous waste. That's why a phone call comes first: 575-769-7852.
Residents inside city limits can use the landfill free for waste from their primary home, with proof of residence. Non-residents and businesses pay standard dumping fees by weight. The city's FAQ adds that certain items may have a fee, so ask about paint when you call.
The landfill is open Monday to Saturday 7 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. and Sunday noon to 4:30 p.m. It stays open on July 4, Labor Day, Columbus Day and Veterans Day, closes early on Christmas Eve (3 p.m.) and is closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
Curry County's Rural Rolloff Dump Program puts free 24/7 containers at the Broadview, Pleasant Hill (Texico) and Countyline fire departments. The county says they're for bulky items, household debris and other non-hazardous waste, so keep paint and thinner out.
For its Trek for Trash cleanup on Saturday, October 17, 2026, the city's Clean-ups page listed no dumping fees from noon Friday, October 16, 2026, until noon Monday, October 19, 2026, with residential tire dumping allowed (up to 9 per family). The page doesn't mention paint, so a fee-free window isn't a sign the landfill takes paint.
New Mexico has no PaintCare program, and PaintCare's locator data has no New Mexico site in Curry County. The Clovis listing it does have is a Dunn-Edwards store in Clovis, California, for households and businesses in California, so it doesn't apply here. NMED's fact sheet says to contact your municipal, county, solid waste authority or tribal program. It says the free Albuquerque collection center is for Albuquerque and Bernalillo County residents. NMED's 2022 registry also lists the Melrose Transfer Station (3451 CR 11, 575-253-4274) and the Texico Transfer Station (910 Wheeler Ave., 575-482-3314) as Curry County collection centers, without saying what they accept. The Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 716 Gidding Street (Thursday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) takes new and gently used items but publishes no paint policy; call 575-935-0760 before donating paint.
Call 575-769-7852 first and ask three things: whether the landfill takes latex, oil-based paint or both; whether paint must be dried or kept in the can; and whether there's a fee for paint. If you live in city limits, bring proof of residence so your trip is free. NMED lists paint as a toxic household hazardous waste and turpentine as an ignitable one, so mention any thinner when you call. The city's pages give no drying or packing steps.

October 17, 2026: read the City of Clovis, NM Landfill page, landfill directory entry, FAQs, Public Works page, Clean-ups page (clovisnm.gov; the cityofclovis.org landfill link on NMED's list redirects to a clovisnm.gov address that returns 404). Also read NMED's 2025 HHW-by-county list, its 2025 HHW fact sheet, its May 2025 permitted landfill list and 2022 registered collection centers list, Curry County's December 5, 2025 roll-off release (opened in a browser), and the Clovis chamber and Habitat listings for the ReStore. The city code link goes to a Municode page that isn't available, and a city site search for 'hazardous' returned nothing. PaintCare data: no New Mexico listing near Clovis; record 13153 is Clovis, California. Facts genuinely run out here: no source says whether the landfill takes latex or oil-based paint, whether dried paint may go in city trash, or what it costs. Peer review (October 17, 2026): the free-dump window is now written in the past tense, and the guide claims nothing about paint that the city doesn't say. Unresolved: all three, plus what the Melrose and Texico transfer stations accept and the ReStore's paint policy. Needs a phone call to 575-769-7852.
