(480) 858-2223

Household ProducTransfer Station Collection Center in Tempe is where locals drop off household cleanout loads and small contractor pickups when regular curbside won't handle it. Neighbors use it for the convenience of a nearby transfer point rather than driving all the way out to a landfill.

Pull into a fairly industrial lot off E University Drive with an entrance booth that vehicles stop at before entering the yard. You'll usually cross a scale as vehicles are weighed and then be directed toward large concrete tipping areas and compactors. The site is dusty and noisy at times, with loaders and trucks moving material, so keep an eye out when walking between vehicles. Expect lines on weekend mornings and during spring cleanup seasons, so plan accordingly.

Before You Go

  • Avoid weekend mornings if possible - midweek or late mornings on weekdays are usually quicker.
  • Secure and tarp open loads; loose debris blows out and slows unloading for everyone.
  • Bring a strong helper for heavy items and sort lighter recyclables or boxes in the truck bed to speed up unloading.
