Small, no-frills disposal site in south Phoenix that locals use for household cleanouts and contractor drop-offs. Looks like a typical neighborhood dump-busy at times, quiet at others. Good for bringing a trailer or pickup if there's a load to get rid of.
Drive up to an entrance booth and mention what’s being brought in; there’s usually a scale that will be used so expect to stop twice if the site follows the usual setup. The yard is open and dusty-Arizona sun and gravel are the main features-and piles of material sit in different sections. Recycling containers tend to be off to one side and heavier loads are directed further in. Lines build up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so plan for a wait when everyone else is out clearing yards.

Before You Go
- Bring a cover or tarps for loose material; the dry wind in Phoenix will scatter debris if loads aren’t secured.
- Arrive with items sorted as much as possible so unloading is quicker and reduces time spent walking between piles.
- Have a backup plan for timing: midweek mornings often move faster than weekend afternoons.
