Garnet, Nevada

Garnet is an extinct town in Clark County, Nevada, United States.

Description

While not much remains of the former community, Garnet is most notable for being the site of the Apex Landfill, a large landfill that is named after Apex, another nearby extinct town in Clark County. The landfill is among the biggest in the world and is the largest in the United States, as measured by tons of waste accepted per day.
Garnet is served by Interstate 15 and U.S. Route 93. The Garnet Interchange is where US 93 splits from I‑15 to head north toward Ely.
