Dollar Dump Day at Gila County Landfills -- Gila County's once-a-month $1 discount "Dollar Day" on the second Saturday each month if for residents to dispose of waste at a significantly reduced rate of $1-per-load. This discount is limited to residents, and excludes commercial haulers.
Landfill Dollar Day Discount -- Now Limited to 1,000 Pounds
The Gila County Board of Supervisors has continued the once-a-month ‘dollar day’ discount for loads taken to landfills in Payson and Globe on the second Saturday each month, but approved a change that became effective in January 2022 residents can still pay just $1 to dispose of one load up to 1,000. 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 Jan. 8 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 -- and proof of Gila County residency is required. Commercial haulers pay regular landfill fees. Need to confirm the landfill schedule?
