Homeowner Landfill Use Program
Don't forget to
secure your load to save lives.
The City of Mesa Solid Waste Management
Department offers an optional landfill service to
homeowners paying for residential solid waste services (R1.2 or R1.26 rate type).
As part of this program, homeowners (r1.2 rate type) may use the Salt River
Landfill or Waste Management San Tan Transfer Station once per month for a
nominal fee. For your convenience, this charge
is added to your monthly utility bill so you do not
have to pay when you visit the landfill. In
some situations however, it may be more economical
to pay cash at the current charge per ton versus
using the landfill program. For example, if
your load is less than 600 pounds, it will cost you
more to use the homeowner landfill program than to
pay cash at the current landfill rate.
Facility locations:
The Salt River Landfill,
located at Gilbert Rd. and the Beeline Highway, is owned and operated by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa
Indian Community. Residents may make an unlimited amount of trips to the
