Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.

A local dump run by Waste Management that gets used by homeowners and small contractors around Phoenix. Located off E Elwood St, it handles day-to-day neighborhood disposal rather than long-haul commercial tipping. The site is the kind of place people go to when clearing out a garage or finishing a small remodel.
The property is large and open, with big concrete pads and rows of roll-off areas. There’s an entrance booth and a drive-over scale visible as vehicles pull in, so plan for a short stop at the gate and another pass by the scale on the way out. Dust and loose dirt are common because of Arizona’s dry climate, and trucks and pickups move slowly through the lanes. Recycling or drop-off bins are usually off to the side rather than buried in the main traffic flow.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover loose material and tie down tarps - wind and dust blow easily here, especially on dry afternoons.
- Bring tools or straps to move or break down bulky items so they fit easier on the pads and in containers.
- Avoid peak weekend times if possible; midweek mornings tend to be quieter and faster for a quick drop-off.
