Solid Waste Facility
Maricopa County Solid Waste
2222 S 27th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85009
Smallish county solid waste site that locals use for household trash, yard clippings and the occasional recycling load. Situated in south Phoenix, it sees a mix of pickup trucks, trailers and the odd contractor roll-off. Neighbors swing by with weekend cleanup piles or drop off things that won't fit in the curb can.
There’s an entrance booth and a gate drive - expect to slow way down when pulling in. Vehicles usually drive past a scale so the truck will stop again on the way out; this place charges by weight. The property is open, dusty and flat, with piles or bins for different kinds of material separated from the main traffic lanes. Weekends and spring-cleanup days get busy, so lines and waiting are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure tarps and tie down loose loads; desert wind blows dust and debris off trailers fast.
- Bring a clear plan for where to go in the truck (drop-off areas can be spread out) and have help ready if lifting heavy items.
- Come earlier in the day on weekends if possible - arrivals cluster later and the line gets long.
