Safford City Landfill is the municipal dump out on N Safford Landfill Road where residents and businesses drop off refuse that gets buried. Locals and commercial haulers both use it - it's the final stop for things that won't fit in curbside pickup.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and be ready to pull forward onto a scale; loads are typically charged by weight so expect to stop twice. The site is open desert: dusty driveways, dirt berms and working faces where trucks unload. Recycling or drop-off containers, if present, tend to sit just past the entrance area and larger commercial trucks pull to separate receiving spots. Traffic picks up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so lines can form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose loads for the drive in to cut down on dust and debris on the road.
- Have items sorted before backing up to the unloading area so you can move through quickly.
- If hauling a commercial trailer, give extra room for turning and expect other big trucks on site.
