La Paz County Landfill
La Paz County Landfill, 26999 Highway 95, Parker, 85344, Arizona
La Paz County Landfill on Highway 95 in Parker is the county dump where household and commercial loads end up being buried. Locals and haulers use it when trash can't be left at curbside - it's a working landfill, not a transfer station or recycling drop-off center.
Pull off Highway 95 into a fairly open, dusty site with heavy equipment moving about; there’s a check-in booth and a scale you'll drive over so expect to stop for weighing. After the scale you'll be directed to a tipping area or row where trucks dump into a cell; tipping fees are charged (usually by weight or vehicle type) and commercial loads are typically handled separately from small residential drop-offs. The place looks like a typical county landfill - compacted dirt roads, piles of material, and machinery, and lines can build up on weekends or during seasonal cleanups.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before hitting the highway - anything that falls out slows everyone down and can get you sent back to clean it up.
- Have truck beds or trailers ready to open and any tarps or straps undone before reaching the booth so the weigh-in and tipping process goes quicker.
- Plan for possible delays: try for early in the week or early in the day if possible, and expect a stop at the scale both in and out so allow a little extra time.
