Waste Management - Ironwood Landfill (Adamsville)

Big regional landfill out on AZ-287 that locals and haulers use when the smaller transfer spots are full. It’s the kind of place where residential pickups and commercial loads both end up - large trucks are a regular sight. The site handles high volumes, so expect a working landfill atmosphere rather than anything tidy or quiet.

Drive in and there’s a booth and a weigh scale area where trucks are routed for weighing - loads are typically charged by weight, so there’s a pay-on-exit routine tied to that. The drop-off area is wide and dusty, with open cells and heavy equipment moving material around; pull into the lanes the attendant indicates and be ready to follow simple directions. Recycling or drop-off containers are usually off to the side of the main tip area, not in the center of the working face. Weekends and seasonal cleanups tend to bring more traffic, so lines at the scale can form.
