Cinder Lake MSW Landfill
Cinder Lake MSW Landfill, 6770 E. Cinder Lake Landfill Road, Flagstaff, 86004, Arizona
Cinder Lake MSW Landfill sits out on E. Cinder Lake Landfill Road just east of Flagstaff and handles municipal solid waste for the area. Locals and commercial haulers both use it, and like most landfills it charges tipping fees based on weight rather than flat per-load pricing.
A small entrance booth and a scale are the first stops - plan on getting weighed and then heading up to the active dumping area. The place is big and open, with compacted cells and heavy trucks coming and going; bring patience if there’s a line. Unloading usually means backing up to a dumping face or drive-through pad, so maneuvering space matters. Expect some dust and gravel underfoot, and give the big trucks plenty of room.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down or tarp loose loads; wind and gravel will scatter debris and it slows things down at the booth.
- Avoid peak weekend or spring-cleanup times if possible - queues and wait times can get long.
- Bring a second person to help guide backing maneuvers and to secure awkward loads for a quicker unload.
