Landfill
Mohave Valley Landfill
Mohave Valley Landfill, 3999 El Rodeo Road, Mohave Valley, 86426, Arizona
Small regional landfill on El Rodeo Road that locals use when a pickup or trailer load won't fit at the curb. Used by residents and haulers from Fort Mohave and nearby towns. This is where trash gets buried - the final stop for large loads.
Expect to pull up to an entrance booth and a scale - landfills commonly charge tipping fees by weight, so plan on a weigh-in on the way out. The site is mostly open dirt with mounds and compacted sections; trucks circle around to the active tipping area. It looks industrial rather than tidy, so keep loose stuff secured. Many landfills accept commercial loads, but specific policies and fees can vary.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before leaving home; debris can blow out on the dirt access roads and creating extra work.
- Sort heavy things like concrete, metal or yard waste from general trash so unloading is quicker and less confusing.
- Try for weekday mornings if possible - weekends and spring-cleanup times tend to be the busiest and lines form at the entrance.
