A working landfill on Phoenix’s south side, Arizona Landfill LLC is where trucks and pickup loads end up for burial. Local contractors and residents with large cleanups use it; commercial haulers bring steady traffic here.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale-vehicles stop to be weighed so expect to pull up twice if charged by weight. The site is open dirt and gravel with visible piles and heavy equipment moving around; watch for dust and slow-moving trucks. Drive slowly to the booth, then follow attendants or signage to the tipping area and back to the outbound scale. Lines can form, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup periods, so plan for some wait time.

Before You Go

- Try to visit midweek or early morning to avoid the biggest backups.
- Know whether the load is commercial or construction-scale and have any necessary paperwork ready-commercial loads are commonly accepted but handled differently than small residential loads.
