Waste Management - Marana Regional Landfill

A big regional landfill out on Avra Valley Road that handles the end-of-the-line burial of trash for Marana and surrounding areas. Local homeowners and haulers both use it when things won’t fit in the regular pickup or during big cleanouts. It looks like the kind of place where trucks and trailers are the norm rather than just pickup loads.

Drive up to a staffed entrance booth and be prepared to pull up onto a scale - tipping fees are charged by weight at sites like this, so there’s usually a stop both going in and coming out. The site is expansive, mostly graded dirt and compacted cells, with working faces where material gets dumped and covered; expect dust and heavy equipment noise. There are separate spots for recycling and bulky materials a short drive from the main tipping area, and commercial vehicles are commonly handled here alongside residential drop-offs. Lines can form, especially on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so plan for a short wait during busy times.
