Apache County Regional Landfill

Apache County Regional Landfill - Blue Hills, Highway 191, St. Johns, 85936, Arizona

Get Directions

Apache County Regional Landfill sits out by Blue Hills on Highway 191 near St. Johns and is what locals use when the pickup or trailer is too full for curbside pickups. Big trucks and contractors come here as often as homeowners doing yard or house cleanouts. It’s a county-scale landfill, so expect a working, no-frills site rather than a neat little transfer station.

There’s a weigh scale and an entrance booth-landfills like this charge by weight and have a tipping-fee structure that differs between residential and commercial loads. Vehicles pull up to the booth, get routed to the active pit or tip face, unload, then head back over the scale to be weighed out. The site is dusty in dry months with berms, piles of compacted material and heavy equipment moving around; follow the attendants’ directions and watch for trucks. Lines can form, especially weekends or spring cleanup, so factor that into the trip.

Before You Go

  • Secure tarps and tie down loose materials before leaving the driveway-wind off Highway 191 will spread debris fast and you’ll be running around picking it up.
  • Bring the load as sorted as possible: separate bulky items from broken concrete or yard waste so unloading goes faster and reduces confusion at the tip face.
  • Expect to stop at the scale twice (in and out) and plan for delays on busy days; if hauling commercial loads, organize the load and any paperwork so the process moves quicker.
