City of Eloy Landfill is the municipal dump out on Toltec Highway, used by local homeowners and haulers who need a place to bury trash. It’s the final stopping point for material that can’t be recycled or taken to transfer stations, and brings in both residential and larger loads from around Eloy.
Expect a no-frills, wide-open site-dirt roads, mounded cells, and equipment moving around. Most city landfills operate on a scale-and-tipping-fee system, so vehicles are weighed and charged by weight with a minimum charge for small residential loads. There’s usually an entry point with someone processing loads and directing traffic, and areas where trucks pull up to tip. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines at the entrance can form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loads well for the drive on Toltec Highway; wind can scatter lighter debris across the road.
- Have materials sorted in the truck so unloading is quick-separate bulky items from loose trash to save time once at the tipping area.
- Bring tools and gloves; the ground is dusty and uneven, and items often need a little shuffling before they can be dumped.
