Waste Management - Payson Hauling & Transfer Station
902 Chennault Pkwy, Payson, AZ 85541
(928) 474-1214Small transfer station in Payson used by local residents and small haulers who'd rather not drive out to the distant landfill. Trucks compact the loads here and then take them off to a landfill out of town.
Drive up to an entrance area with a booth and a scale; you'll usually stop to have your load weighed. After that, follow the flow toward a concrete tipping floor and the big open bays where material gets dropped and compacted. The place looks industrial-loud machinery, dusty piles, and roll-off containers are common sights. Expect lines on busy weekends and during spring cleanup season.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover or secure loose material before pulling in so nothing blows out while waiting in line.
- Break down or consolidate large items at the vehicle first; it makes unloading faster and less awkward.
- Try to go early on weekends or midweek if possible, since peak times bring longer waits.
