Camp Verde Transfer Station

A small transfer station on State Route 260 that locals use to drop off household junk and yard debris instead of driving all the way to a distant landfill. Mostly serves residents of Camp Verde and nearby communities who need a closer place to unload smaller loads. Expect a functional, no-frills setup rather than a polished public park.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop for an initial check and a weighing at the scale on the way out; charges are typically by weight for this type of site. The layout is basically a paved drive with lanes for dropping loads, a few concrete or steel transfer containers, and a compacting operation where material gets loaded into larger trucks. Dust and desert scrub are visible around the perimeter, and summer afternoons can feel hot and bright with little shade. Weekends and spring cleanup times often have lines, so there can be a short wait before getting to the drop-off point.
