Glendale Landfill

Glendale Landfill on W Glendale Ave is the city landfill where household and commercial trash ends up for burial. Locals and haulers use it for final disposal rather than transfer or recycling stops. It’s the sort of place that looks like a working dirt operation - big cells, compacted layers and heavy equipment moving around.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale to stop on; most customers are weighed and charged by weight, so expect to stop twice if that’s how they operate. Driveways and pad areas are gravel or packed dirt, with trucks and roll-offs coming and going; keep an eye on equipment and follow posted traffic directions. After the booth, follow the signs or attendants to the active tipping area where loads are dumped and pushed into place. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanups, so busy times mean waiting and slow-moving traffic through the site.
