Rio Salado Landfill Co

Small- to mid‑scale landfill on Phoenix's south side used by both residents and commercial haulers. Located near the Salt River, this is where loads actually get buried rather than sorted or recycled. Locals bring construction debris, yard waste and roll-off truckloads from the valley.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be ready to follow attendants' directions; there’s a scale you cross on the way in and again on the way out since tipping fees are charged by weight with typical minimums for small loads. The site is mostly exposed dirt and compacted cover-dust and wind are noticeable, especially on dry afternoons-so expect a dusty drive and open tipping areas. Traffic can back up on weekends and during neighborhood cleanups, and commercial trucks are handled alongside residential vehicles, so be prepared for larger equipment and longer wait times.
