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.
