Small-town transfer station just off Frank Way that most locals use when the landfill is too far to drive. People bring household junk, yard waste and the occasional construction load to be compacted and sent out on larger trucks. It's the kind of place residents use when a pickup truck or trailer is full and a trip to a distant landfill isn't practical.
There's an entrance booth and a place to pull up before driving into the drop area; expect to stop at the booth and then move slowly through the yard. The site is typical for desert Arizona - dusty and dry, with compacted piles and big trucks coming and going. Loads are usually driven in and dumped into a pit or hopper where they get compacted, then loaded onto outbound haulers. Weekends tend to be busier, so lines and some waiting are common during spring cleanup and holiday weekends.

Before You Go
- Secure loose items and tie down tarps - wind and dust can make an unsecured load messy and cause debris to blow around.
- Bring work gloves and closed-toe shoes; the ground is gravelly and there can be sharp bits around drop piles.
- If possible, go on a weekday morning to avoid weekend backup; a quick run midweek is usually faster and easier to maneuver a trailer.
