Broad Acre Landfill

Broad Acre Landfill in Avondale is the local burial site for municipal and construction debris, used by homeowners cleaning out garages and by haulers dropping off commercial loads. It’s the kind of place seen from the highway - big open cells and earth-moving equipment in the distance. People come when they need a final place for trash that won’t go to recycling or transfer stations.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop for a scale; landfills typically charge tipping fees by weight and often have a minimum charge. Pull through as directed from the booth to the working face where trucks and pickups unload; it’s mostly unpaved areas, gravel, and compacted dirt. There are usually piles and heavy equipment nearby, so watch for large trucks and follow flaggers or signs. Lines can form at weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect some waiting at peak times.
