A small community waste site that handles local household disposal in the Maricopa area. Neighbors bring normal residential loads here; it looks more like a working yard than a polished recycling center.
Drive in and slow down - there’s typically an entrance lane with a booth or gate where vehicles pause before heading to the drop-off area. The site is open and dusty, with large piles or containers and room for trucks and trailers to maneuver. Lines build up on weekend mornings, so plan for a short wait if it’s a busy day. Look for directional signs and cones that guide where to pull up and unload.

Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads; wind and dust are common in Arizona and can scatter light material.
- Use a smaller vehicle or trailer if possible - larger trucks take more time to position and unload, which matters on busy days.
- Try to arrive midweek or later in the afternoon to avoid the longer lines that form on weekend mornings and during seasonal cleanups.
