Republic Services La Paz County Landfill

A working landfill on Hwy 95 that locals from Parker and surrounding areas use when their trash cans or pickups won't do. Open pit, big enough to take commercial haulers as well as neighborhood drop-offs, and it sits out in the dry desert so dust is a thing. The site is run by Republic Services and handles final burial of solid waste rather than transfer or recycling only.

Drive up the long entrance road and pass a small scale house where vehicles are weighed - tipping fees are charged by weight, with different rates for residential and commercial loads and typical minimum charges on small loads. Pull past the scale toward the active cells and follow staff or signs directing where to unload; the property is mostly graded dirt and compacted cover, so expect loose gravel, wind-blown dust and open working areas. Recycling or drop-off bins, if present, tend to sit near the entrance next to the office; weekends and seasonal cleanups often bring more traffic and slower lines.
