Waste Management - Northwest Regional Landfill

A large regional landfill on the west side of Surprise, used by homeowners cleaning out a garage and by commercial haulers dropping off big loads. It's the final place where trash gets buried, so expect big trucks and open desert surroundings.

There’s an entrance gate with a scale house and a traffic flow for incoming and outgoing vehicles; loads are typically weighed so you'll stop more than once. The site is wide open - piles, compactors, and long dirt access roads under the sun - and the desert setting means dust and heat can be an issue. Commercial trucks are common here alongside pickup trucks and trailers, so plan for maneuvering around larger rigs. Watch for signs directing to the weigh station and the active tipping face; drivers pull up, dump, then head back to the scale for final weigh-out.
