Los Reales Landfill
Los Reales Landfill, 5300 E. Los Reales Road, Tucson, 85756, Arizona
Los Reales Landfill at 5300 E. Los Reales Road is Tucson’s large municipal landfill where household cleanups and commercial haulers bring material to be buried. It’s used by homeowners doing big cleanouts as well as local contractors hauling commercial loads.
Drive in and you’ll see a scale and an entrance booth; landfills like this operate on a tipping-fee structure, usually charged by weight, so expect to be weighed. The site is big-plain dirt mounds, heavy equipment moving around, and lots of trucks and pickups. Pull up to the booth when directed, unload where told, then go back over the scale for the final weight. Weekends and spring cleanup season can be busy, so there are often lines.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads before getting on site; loose trash and yard debris blow everywhere and slow the line.
- Sort out metals, recyclables, or anything that might be handled separately before you get there to avoid extra trips.
- Plan for the scale stop(s): keep the load accessible and have any paperwork or ID handy to speed things through the booth.
