Tucson Landfill Information is the city-area landfill out on S Park Ave that handles the final disposal of buried material. Neighbors, landscapers, and haulers bring loads here - it’s the kind of place where residential pickups and larger trucks both show up.
The site is large and open, with a single entrance booth and a weigh scale that everyone crosses; they charge by weight so vehicles usually stop twice, once in and once out. Haul lanes lead up to the working face where trucks tip, and there are piles of compacted cover and capped sections visible from the road. Expect a dusty, desert-feel operation-Arizona’s dry climate keeps things dusty and the dirt access roads firm most of the year.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Drive slowly after the entrance booth; big trucks turn and there’s loose gravel around the tipping area.
- Have a tarp ready for loose loads-wind is common in this part of Tucson and debris can blow off during the short drive inside the site.
- If hauling a commercial load, plan for a larger rig and more maneuvering space than a residential pickup; bring a helper to spot if backing toward the drop-off face.
