Russell Gulch Landfill Expansion Suspends Dollar Day Discount
Russell Gulch Landfill will be open for business on Saturday, Feb. 11, but the ‘Dollar Day’ discount has been suspended for the next four months while a landfill expansion project is underway.
The expansion project requires 427,000 cubic yards of material be excavated; for the next four months this amplifies construction traffic and heightens safety concerns for both the landfill’s small staff – and customers.
Watch for announcements and updates in May, if the expansion is completed on schedule, allowing the ‘Dollar Day’ discount to resume June of 2023.
Dollar Day Continues at Buckhead Mesa Landfill in Payson
The popular once-a-month ‘Dollar Day’ discount remains unchanged at Gila County’s Buckhead Mesa Landfill in Payson, where local residents can dispose of loads of trash for $1 on Feb. 11, the second Saturday of the month.
Here’s a reminder to Rim Country residents: you can still pay just $1 to dispose of one load up to 1,000 pounds. Truck or trailer loads weighing over 1,000 pounds will be charged $1 for the first 1,000 pounds and the existing fee rate for everything else over the 1,000 pounds.
Please bring coins or a dollar bill for loads that will cost just a buck; debit or credit cards are accepted for additional fees. Bringing $1 cash to pay for the discount is a helpful courtesy, quicker and more efficient than credit cards, and bringing that dollar avoids credit card fees and time spent to process a one-dollar credit card transaction.
Landfill staff remind those planning for the next ‘Dollar Day’ discount to tarp, cover and secure loads of trash - state and local laws require all loads must be covered or secured - that applies to residential haulers as well as commercial, and applies on ‘dollar day,’ too.
The dollar day discount was created for residential users, so proof of Gila County residency is required. Commercial haulers pay regular landfill fees.
