ScotTransfer Stationdale's Solid Waste Management

ScotTransfer Stationdale's Solid Waste Management is a transfer station in Scottsdale where local residents drop off household junk to be compacted and hauled to a landfill. People who live nearby and those doing small cleanups tend to use this place because it’s closer than driving out to a big regional landfill.

Drive in past an entrance booth where vehicles are staged for weighing and directions; there’s usually a scale to cross either coming in or going out, so expect a brief stop. The site is open-air and can get dusty in Arizona’s dry climate, with large skip bins and a compactor area visible from the vehicle lanes. Pull up to the unloading area when directed, unload onto concrete bays, and then drive back toward the scale lane to finish. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, often have lines and slower traffic through the site.
