Maricopa County Landfill Tipping Fees & Per-Ton Overage Rules for Phoenix Dumpsters

Primary Disposal Facility: City of Phoenix 27th Avenue & North Gateway Transfer Stations (Routing to SR 85 Landfill in Buckeye) (27th Ave Transfer Station: 3060 S. 27th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85009 | North Gateway Transfer Station: 30205 N. Black Canyon Hwy, Phoenix, AZ 85085) ^[2]

Official Landfill / Transfer Station Rate: $55.00 per ton gate rate ($40 minimum); Phoenix residential utility customers get 1 load up to 1.0 ton FREE per calendar month (with city services bill + matching photo ID); City roll-off rental is $165/pull + $55/ton ^[2]
Typical Private Roll-Off Overage Rate: $55 to $75 per ton above your private container’s included weight limit
The City of Phoenix State Route 85 Landfill in Buckeye is NOT open to the general public—all residential self-haulers and local transfer loads use the 27th Avenue Transfer Station or North Gateway Transfer Station (Mon–Fri 5:30 a.m.–5 p.m.; Sat 6 a.m.–3 p.m.).
Active City of Phoenix residential solid-waste customers with no past-due balance can also request a City-operated roll-off dumpster (10, 20, 30, or 40 yard for up to 10 days) via myPHX311 or (602) 262-6251 for $165 per pull plus $55 per ton weighed at pickup (48-hour callback; non-account holders and commercial projects must use private haulers).
Transfer stations charge a $20 penalty for unsecured/uncovered loads and a $50 penalty for boats or hot tubs/spas not cut into fourths.

How Tonnage Overages Work: In Phoenix, private roll-off haulers bundle 2 to 4 tons into a flat rate ($385–$540 for a 20-yard bin), whereas the City of Phoenix charges $165 per pull plus $55/ton for every ton hauled. Note that clay roof tiles, stucco, pool deck concrete, and desert landscaping rock are extremely dense and quickly exceed standard weight limits.

Phoenix, AZ Street Permit Rules, Right-of-Way Regulations & HOA Driveway Guidelines

Municipal Permit Authority: City of Phoenix Street Transportation Department — Right-of-Way Temporary Use & Revocable Permits (Phoenix City Code Sec. 31-81) ^[3]

Private Driveway Placement (No City Permit Needed): No City of Phoenix permit is required when a roll-off container sits completely on your private driveway or residential property behind the sidewalk.
Public Street / Right-of-Way Permit Requirements: Under Phoenix City Code Section 31-81 (current through Ordinance G-7524, June 17, 2026), placing a dumpster or temporary obstruction in the public right-of-way requires filing a Right-of-Way Temporary Use Permit with the Street Transportation Department at least 2 business days prior for a partial/sidewalk restriction (or 3 business days prior for a full restriction). While Sec. 31-81(B)(1) waives the application processing fee for a temporary use permit, any revocable right-of-way permit carries a $100 fee for single-family residential zoned units and a $1,000 fee for commercial uses.
Local HOA & Subdivision Restrictions in Phoenix: Phoenix and Valley HOAs (Ahwatukee Foothills, Desert Ridge, Anthem, Biltmore, Norterra) strictly enforce CC&Rs against street dumpsters and typically require advance notice for driveway containers kept over 7 days.
Driveway Protection & Delivery Clearance Tips: Phoenix summer asphalt temperatures exceed 160°F, allowing heavy roll-off steel wheels to sink into asphalt driveways. Always place thick 2x8 lumber planks or 3/4-inch plywood under the rollers.

Items Prohibited in Phoenix Roll-Off Dumpsters (Where to Dispose of Them Instead)

Because every roll-off load in Phoenix is inspected at City of Phoenix 27th Avenue & North Gateway Transfer Stations (Routing to SR 85 Landfill in Buckeye) under state and municipal solid-waste rules ^[2], haulers strictly prohibit or surcharge the following items inside a mixed roll-off container:

Bricks, Concrete, Dirt, Rocks, Roof Shingles & Construction Debris Over 25 lbs in Phoenix Bulk Trash: Phoenix’s appointment-based Bulk Trash program (4/year, max 10 cu yd) strictly prohibits bricks, concrete, dirt, rocks, roof shingles, glass/mirrors, Bagster bags, and construction debris over 25 lbs or 4 ft—making a roll-off dumpster or private hauler mandatory for renovations.
Whole Hot Tubs / Spas Not Cut Into Fourths: Phoenix Transfer Stations charge a $50 penalty if a spa/hot tub is not sawed into 4 sections prior to arrival; full-service junk crews handle complete spa teardown and haul-away.
Refrigerators, Freezers, AC Units, Tires & Hazardous Waste: Banned from both curbside bulk trash and roll-off dumpsters.
