Gila River Solid Waste Planning on E Pima St in Sacaton is where locals drop off household trash, yard clippings and recyclables. Folks from town and nearby areas bring pickups, trailers or bags after a weekend project or yard work.
Pull in from E Pima and head toward the entrance lane; places like this commonly have a small booth and a scale, so plan to stop briefly. The site is mostly open lot with roll-off containers and loaders moving material around, so watch for trucks and give them room. There are usually separate spots for recyclables, yard waste and general trash, so unloading often means a short drive from the booth to the correct drop-off. It’s a practical, no-frills setup rather than anything polished.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down and cover loose loads - dust and debris can blow out during the drive or while unloading.
- Sort materials in the truck or trailer before you get to the gate; being organized saves time since different types usually go to different spots.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; lines tend to be longest during spring cleanup and right after holidays.
