Gila County Landfill is the county dump out on Hope Lane in Globe, used by local residents and commercial haulers alike. It’s a working landfill - the place where trash gets buried - serving the surrounding desert communities of Gila County. The site is sized for regional use rather than a tiny roadside transfer point.
There’s usually an entrance booth and a scale to drive over, since tipping fees are charged by weight rather than per load. Pull up to the booth first and be prepared to drive up the scale on the way in and again when you leave. The site looks like most landfills: compacted dirt roads, piles of covered cells, and heavy equipment moving around; it can be dusty in Arizona’s dry climate. Commercial trucks are handled there, so expect a mix of pickups, trailers, and roll-offs on site.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp any loose loads before leaving home; wind and dust are constant here.
- Have vehicle paperwork or permits handy if hauling commercial loads, and be ready to queue if multiple trucks are ahead.
- Try to avoid weekend mornings during big cleanup seasons - lines and waits can get long when everyone in town shows up.
