South Yuma County Landfill

South Yuma County Landfill, 19536 S. Avenue 1 E, Yuma, 85365, Arizona

South Yuma County Landfill is the county dump out at 19536 S. Avenue 1 E in Yuma, where residents and commercial haulers bring material that’s destined to be buried. It’s the place people use when a project or a big cleanup generates more than the curbside bin can handle.

Expect a gate/booth and a scale up front so vehicles get weighed before and after dumping; plan to pull up, get weighed, make the drop, then roll back over the scale. The site is open and dusty with piles of compacted trash and heavy equipment moving around, so drive slow and watch for loaders. Tipping fees at landfills are generally charged by weight with a minimum, and most landfills accept commercial loads though they may be billed differently. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup season, so waits are common.

Before You Go

  • Tie down and tarp everything before leaving home so nothing blows out on the road or at the site.
  • Wear sturdy shoes and keep a long-handled tool or shovel handy for awkward items; the ground is often uneven and there’s little shade.
  • If possible, try for a weekday or early morning visit to avoid the longest lines, especially during seasonal cleanups.
