Small transfer station just off N Marblehead Ave that locals use when the big regional landfill is too far. Mostly residential drivers and small contractors swing by to drop off loads that get compacted and hauled out to a landfill elsewhere. It’s the kind of place people use when a pickup bed or trailer is full and a quick drop-off beats a long drive.
There’s an entrance booth and a lane to pull up to before getting directed to the drop-off area; expect to stop twice if there’s a scale. The site looks rugged - compactors, piles of compacted material, and several bays; dust and wind are common in this dry Arizona setting. Recycling bins are usually set off to the right past the initial area, with general trash bays straight ahead. Weekends and spring cleanup times get backed up, so lines can form and it may move slowly.

- Bring gloves and something to help unload (shovel or a helper); some drops require a bit of manual shoveling into the bay.
- Aim for weekday mornings if possible; weekends and seasonal cleanups are busiest and lines can stretch out onto the access road.
