A working landfill on the outskirts of Casa Grande, used by homeowners hauling big cleanups and by commercial haulers dropping off loads. The place is all landfill - final burial - so expect trucks and heavy equipment moving around. It's a larger regional-style site serving the desert communities nearby.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop - there’s a scale you’ll cross, and tipping fees are charged by weight with separate rates for residential and commercial loads. The yard is open, dusty and mostly dirt and compacted cells; heavy equipment and mounded waste are visible from the access roads. Pull up to the scale in the lane, follow attendants’ directions or signage for where to dump, then return to the scale to be weighed out. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to slow traffic and create lines at the gate.

Before You Go
- Tie down tarps and secure loose items - the desert wind kicks up dust and debris easily.
- Have a plan for unloading before driving onto the tipping area; large commercial trucks and roll-offs are common and use the same lanes.
- Bring good footwear and water in hot months; surfaces are rough and shaded spots are limited.
