Landfill
Lake Havasu Landfill
Lake Havasu Landfill, 3251 East Chenoweth Drive, Lake Havasu City, 86404, Arizona
Lake Havasu Landfill at 3251 East Chenoweth Drive is the city’s landfill where trash gets buried rather than recycled. Locals and commercial haulers both show up here, so expect an industrial, working site rather than a tidy drop-off lot.
There’s an entrance booth and vehicle scale, so loads are typically weighed and tipping fees are charged by weight - plan to stop again on the way out. The property is large and open, with piles of compacted material and heavy equipment moving around; lanes can be dusty and a bit rough. Pull up to the booth, get directed to the tipping area, unload efficiently and then return to the scale to be weighed out. Weekends and spring-cleanup times often have lines, so expect some wait time during busy periods.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose loads with a tarp to keep debris from blowing out and to make unloading cleaner.
- Sort and bundle items beforehand-separating bulky pieces or anything awkward speeds unloading and keeps things moving.
- Leave extra room in your schedule for the scale stops and possible lineups; midweek visits usually move faster than weekend mornings.
